The organization over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER OF DELAWARE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 84% · 2021 84% · 2022 82% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year

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.
