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 2021 to 2022, from $3.6M to $4.5M (+25%).
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 40% · 2018 32% · 2019 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of HOSPITAL QUALITY INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Left out of every figure on this page: $40k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Cedars-Sinai Medical Center). These are real filings, and they are not money HOSPITAL QUALITY INSTITUTE raised.

How concentrated its funding is
HOSPITAL QUALITY INSTITUTE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 97% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
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 HOSPITAL QUALITY INSTITUTE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
