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.
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: 2020 21% · 2021 28% · 2022 13% · 2023 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
8% of HAMILTON AREA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $13k → $55k.
2 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% 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: $135k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Princeton Area Community Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money HAMILTON AREA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION raised.
From the IRS filings of HAMILTON AREA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.

HAMILTON AREA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 HAMILTON AREA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 77% · 2018 80% · 2019 79% · 2020 50% · 2021 90% · 2022 59% · 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
29% of HAMILTON AREA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 79% 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
54% of HAMILTON AREA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $215k that is directly attributable, 72% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $251k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 statesis 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.
