Therefore, a drive was begun to build grady memorial hospital (grady). On june 1, 1892, grady admitted its first patient. As of today, grady continues to be the safety net hospital for the uninsured and underinsured citizens of fulton and dekalb counties and the state of georgia. As the largest safety net hospital in the state and one of the largest in the country, its mission is (1) to provide medical services to uninsured, underinsured, or indigent patients; (2) to provide an open access policy for residents of fulton and dekalb counties regardless of their ability to pay; (3) and to provide a provision for significant uncompensated indigent and charity care. During 2024, grady provided care to 88,051 under and uninsured patients which represent approximately 50% of its total patients with about 388,158 patient encounters, costing approximately $605m. Grady receives some reimbursement from fulton and dekalb counties, medicaid, and some funding from the state of georgia's indigent care trust fund…

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.
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 $1.6B to $2.0B (+29%).
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 4% · 2018 3% · 2019 3% · 2020 2% · 2021 3% · 2022 3% · 2023 2% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
8% of GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 7 funders, grant income fell $401k → $294k.
6 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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: $228M from 12 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Grady Health Foundation Inc); $54M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Grady Health Resources Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION raised.
From the IRS filings of GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 21 of 25 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
89% 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 GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 50% · 2019 27% · 2020 58% · 2021 89% · 2022 67% · 2023 44% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
27% of GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION draws 80% of its grant income from funders outside Georgia, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
