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.
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 36% · 2018 44% · 2019 47% · 2020 41% · 2021 67% · 2022 41% · 2023 53% · 2024 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $165k → $255k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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: $846k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money DELAWARE ADVANCEMENT CORPORATION raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
