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 92% · 2018 85% · 2019 11% · 2020 22% · 2021 11% · 2022 12% · 2023 21% · 2024 11% · 2025 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
56% 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 DOWNTOWN GREENSBORO INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 98% · 2020 91% · 2021 83% · 2022 59% · 2023 67% — diversifying over time.
