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 2023 to 2024, from $30M to $56M (+84%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2022 11% · 2024 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 14 funders to 36 funders, grant income fell $2.4M → $2.1M.
19 of 115 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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: $36M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Childrens Home Society and Trust Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CHILDRENS HOME SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
86% 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 CHILDRENS HOME SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 55% · 2019 53% · 2020 28% · 2021 32% · 2022 78% · 2023 23% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
