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 2019 to 2020, from $77M to $95M (+24%).
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 0% · 2018 94% · 2019 93% · 2020 94% · 2021 96% · 2022 78% · 2023 59% · 2024 67% · 2025 64%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of ECKERD YOUTH ALTERNATIVES INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (17% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 22 funders to 26 funders, grant income rose $3.7M → $10M.
14 of 80 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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: $23M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest National Foundation for Youth Inc); $6.6M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Pasco Hernando Workforce Board Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money ECKERD YOUTH ALTERNATIVES INC raised.
From the IRS filings of ECKERD YOUTH ALTERNATIVES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 80 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.
How concentrated its funding is
ECKERD YOUTH ALTERNATIVES INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 33% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
93% 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 ECKERD YOUTH ALTERNATIVES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 39% · 2019 40% · 2020 50% · 2021 19% · 2022 51% · 2023 45% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
45% of ECKERD YOUTH ALTERNATIVES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
ECKERD YOUTH ALTERNATIVES INC draws 63% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 16 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $212k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states is 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.
Against its field
