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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $2.0M to $4.4M (+118%).
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 100% · 2018 98% · 2019 99% · 2020 100% · 2021 96% · 2022 96% · 2023 95% · 2024 92% · 2025 89%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of Charlotte Works’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (16% for the typical peer).

1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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: $169k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Greater Charlotte Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Charlotte Works raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
47% 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 Charlotte Works.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 74% · 2021 63% · 2022 71% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
