The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $271k to $623k (+130%).
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: 2023 61% · 2024 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of FORK OVER LOVE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $37k → $95k.
2 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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: $115k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Luzerne Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money FORK OVER LOVE INC raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
