The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $46M to $51M (+12%).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $24k → $148k.
7 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 47% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $296k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Anderson Foundation for Autism). These are real filings, and they are not money ANDERSON CENTER FOR AUTISM raised.
From the IRS filings of ANDERSON CENTER FOR AUTISM’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 31 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
54% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ANDERSON CENTER FOR AUTISM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 23% · 2019 35% · 2020 27% · 2021 40% · 2022 18% · 2023 27% — diversifying over time.
