Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $109k → $339k.

4 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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: $301k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Boys and Girls Club of Bay County Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF THE GREAT LAKES BAY REGION raised.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $346k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
