73% 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 FOUNDATION FOR AFRICAN MEDICINE AND EDUC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 42% · 2019 79% · 2020 41% · 2021 30% · 2022 22% · 2023 41% — diversifying over time.
