What Community Blood Center of Greater Kansas City does
Mission
To provide blood and support services that meet the needs of patients, donors, physicians, and hospitals.
As stated on its FY2018 Form 990.
Program
A. Donor services for the 12 months ended march 31, 2018, the community blood center recruited 78,896 volunteer blood donors to donate 157,872 units of blood to meet the need for blood and blood components. The Community Blood Center of Greater Kansas City provides over 90% of the volunteer blood supply for 64 hospitals in a seventy county region. Sixty-three percent of the volunteer donors were collected on 2,318 bloodmobiles sponsored by businesses, churches, synagogues, schools, communities, and military organizations. Volunteer chairpeople coordinate each mobile blood drive. The volunteer chairperson is responsible for finding other volunteers to assist in coordinating the mobile, obtaining a location for the drive and contacting and scheduling the volunteer blood donors. Volunteers contribute thousands of hours annually to assure successful blood drives. For 12 months ended march 31, 2018, the center's donor room services staff conducted 142,332 screenings to determine the eligibility to be a volunteer blood donor. The volunteer donors are screened first, to determine if it is safe for them to donate, and second, to assure it will be safe for a patient to receive the blood.…

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 2017 to 2018, from $25M to $0 (−100%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTER OF GREATER KANSAS CITY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
Where its funders are
100% of COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTER OF GREATER KANSAS CITY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
