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 19% · 2018 19% · 2019 18% · 2020 26% · 2021 28% · 2022 33% · 2023 32% · 2024 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF SAN FRANCISCO’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (80% for the typical peer).

Left out of every figure on this page: $17M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco Endowment Trust); $4.9M from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco). These are real filings, and they are not money BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF SAN FRANCISCO raised.
From the IRS filings of BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF SAN FRANCISCO’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 160 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
70% 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 & GIRLS CLUBS OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 15% · 2018 17% · 2019 14% · 2020 22% · 2021 19% · 2022 13% · 2023 14% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $24M arriving through sponsors registered in 18 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. 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.
