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 97% · 2018 97% · 2019 97% · 2020 93% · 2021 89% · 2022 99% · 2023 97% · 2024 94% · 2025 85%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of DOVE SCHOOLS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).

72% 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 DOVE SCHOOLS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 96% · 2021 90% · 2022 79% · 2023 22% — diversifying over time.
