the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
72% 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 BAKERSFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 29% · 2019 38% · 2020 49% · 2021 89% · 2022 63% · 2023 44% — diversifying over time.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is 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.
