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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $407k → $2.1M.

8 of 55 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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: $6.6M from 5 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest North Georgia Community Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF LANIER INC raised.

From the IRS filings of BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF LANIER INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 55 funders by total. Association, not causation.

75% 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 CLUBS OF LANIER INC.
