the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
77% 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 FLORIDA TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 75% · 2021 100% · 2022 76% · 2023 98% — growing more concentrated.

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.

Where its funders are
77% of FLORIDA TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $91k that is directly attributable, 94% of it comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $304k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
