the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
48% 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 COURAGE TO CHANGE SOBER LIVING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 62% · 2019 100% · 2020 58% · 2021 54% · 2022 100% · 2023 73% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
