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.
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 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 1% · 2020 3% · 2021 3% · 2022 2% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
20% of CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S SPECIALTY GROUP INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).

2017 → 2022: the base held at 1 funder, grant income held at $0.

Left out of every figure on this page: $34M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Connecticut Children's Medical Center Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S SPECIALTY GROUP INC raised.
From the IRS filings of CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S SPECIALTY GROUP INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 2 of 3 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
CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S SPECIALTY GROUP INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
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 CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S SPECIALTY GROUP INC.
“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 CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S SPECIALTY GROUP INC'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. Of the $200 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Connecticut, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 1 stateis 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.
