Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 17 funders to 46 funders, grant income rose $2.5M → $4.9M.
30 of 143 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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: $7.4M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Orange County Community Foundation); $40k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Charitable Ventures of Orange County); $26k from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Sacred Harvest Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CHARITABLE VENTURES OF ORANGE COUNTY raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
40% 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 CHARITABLE VENTURES OF ORANGE COUNTY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 48% · 2019 40% · 2020 24% · 2021 28% · 2022 22% · 2023 40% — broadly stable.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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. 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.
