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 2021 to 2022, from $10M to $11M (+6%).
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 74% · 2018 68% · 2019 55% · 2020 76% · 2021 76% · 2022 80% · 2023 71% · 2024 79% · 2025 81%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ASSOCIATIO’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income fell $64k → $55k.
4 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% 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: $536k from 4 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Enid and Northwest Oklahoma Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ASSOCIATIO raised.
From the IRS filings of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ASSOCIATIO’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 16 of 18 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.
How concentrated its funding is
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ASSOCIATIO leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ASSOCIATIO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 97% · 2019 48% · 2020 81% · 2021 76% · 2022 49% · 2023 96% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
30% of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ASSOCIATIO's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
55% of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT ASSOCIATIO's grant income comes from Oklahoma funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $140k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
