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: 2017 85% · 2018 82% · 2019 83% · 2020 81% · 2021 86% · 2022 87% · 2023 82% · 2024 85% · 2025 93%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of HEARTLAND WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $287k → $175k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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: $50k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of the Midlands). These are real filings, and they are not money HEARTLAND WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS INC raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 stateis 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.
