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 2023 to 2024, from $6.4M to $5.8M (−9%).
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 70% · 2018 72% · 2019 68% · 2020 69% · 2021 80% · 2022 72% · 2023 75% · 2024 77% · 2025 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES OF SNOHOMISH’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

7 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% 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: $350k from 5 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Snohomish County). These are real filings, and they are not money DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES OF SNOHOMISH raised.
From the IRS filings of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES OF SNOHOMISH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 29 of 30 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
51% 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 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES OF SNOHOMISH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 70% · 2019 43% · 2020 35% · 2021 45% · 2022 31% · 2023 29% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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