The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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: 2021 11% · 2022 8% · 2023 14% · 2024 10% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
31% of CROSBY SCHOLARS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

Left out of every figure on this page: $10M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CROSBY SCHOLARS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP raised.
From the IRS filings of CROSBY SCHOLARS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 32 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
CROSBY SCHOLARS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 61% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 CROSBY SCHOLARS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 56% · 2018 41% · 2019 90% · 2020 86% · 2021 75% · 2022 67% · 2023 46% — diversifying over time.
“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
67% of CROSBY SCHOLARS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
75% of CROSBY SCHOLARS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP'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 $1.1M that is directly attributable, 69% of it comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.3M 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.
