The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 45% · 2019 44% · 2020 38% · 2021 44% · 2022 22% · 2023 30% · 2024 21% · 2025 44%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of ARTS ED NJ INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (58% for the typical peer).

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $154k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 statesis excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
