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 Dr Shalon Maternal Action Project Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 61% · 2022 82% · 2023 74% — growing more concentrated.
