Programs
Medical Care provided to Children: It is the policy of the Hospital to strive to maintain quality health care delivery in a manner that respects the dignity of the individual and family, regardless of the ability to pay. Under the Hospital's policy, medical care may be provided without charge or at amounts less than its established rates to people who are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford to pay for their own medical care. The Hospital provides additional community support by providing care to patients who participate in programs, like Medi-Cal, that do not pay full charges. Approximately three-fourths of the Hospital's patients are covered by Medi-Cal Programs.

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 2017 to 2018, from $1.8B to $2.1B (+21%).
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.

From the IRS filings of Children's Hospital Los Angeles’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 999 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 28 funders to its left
57% 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 Hospital Los Angeles.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 6% · 2018 6% · 2019 11% · 2020 4% · 2021 4% · 2022 18% · 2023 19% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $90M arriving through sponsors registered in 26 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.
