Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $2.2M to $3.0M (+36%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
92% 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 CAYUGASENECA COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 68% · 2018 51% · 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 75% — growing more concentrated.
