the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 BRAD WHITE MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 60% · 2022 53% · 2023 75% — diversifying over time.
