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.
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 $536k to $759k (+42%).
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 6% · 2018 2% · 2019 23% · 2020 27% · 2021 25% · 2022 30% · 2023 15% · 2024 19%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

72% 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 FRANKLIN COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY- KITTOCHTINNY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 56% · 2019 57% · 2020 58% · 2021 53% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $128k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
