The organization over time

99% 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 County of San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 52% · 2020 68% · 2021 82% · 2022 99% · 2023 73% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.7M 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.
