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.

Who funds it, year by year

Left out of every figure on this page: $157k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Silicon Valley Community Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money GEORGIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION INC raised.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $160k 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.
