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.
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: 2017 21% · 2018 25% · 2019 34% · 2020 33% · 2021 36% · 2022 34% · 2023 54% · 2024 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
76% of BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF GREATER MILWAUKEE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (80% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
68% 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 BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF GREATER MILWAUKEE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 31% · 2019 18% · 2020 25% · 2021 29% · 2022 83% · 2023 30% — broadly stable.

How long its funders stay
48% of BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF GREATER MILWAUKEE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

Where its funders are
52% of BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF GREATER MILWAUKEE INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $24M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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. 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.
