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

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 HANDS IN 4 YOUTH INC (NY).
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 51% · 2019 44% · 2020 57% · 2021 45% · 2022 72% · 2023 78% — diversifying over time.

Where its funders are
88% of HANDS IN 4 YOUTH INC (NY)'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 $96k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $717k 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. 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.
