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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $1.1M to $2.0M (+82%).
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 73% · 2018 15% · 2019 14% · 2020 20% · 2021 3% · 2022 29% · 2023 26% · 2024 28% · 2025 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year

12 of 46 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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: $870k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Northwestern Michigan Child & Family Services Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES OF NORTHWESTERN MICHIGAN INC raised.

78% 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 CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES OF NORTHWESTERN MICHIGAN INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 44% · 2018 38% · 2019 19% · 2020 21% · 2021 35% · 2022 45% · 2023 38% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
