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 2019 to 2020, from $71M to $82M (+15%).
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 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 23% · 2023 2% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
3% of INDEPENDENT GROUP HOME LIVING PROGRAM INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $40k → $165k.
4 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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: $900k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Independent Group Home Living Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money INDEPENDENT GROUP HOME LIVING PROGRAM INC raised.
From the IRS filings of INDEPENDENT GROUP HOME LIVING PROGRAM INC’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.
How concentrated its funding is
INDEPENDENT GROUP HOME LIVING PROGRAM INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 INDEPENDENT GROUP HOME LIVING PROGRAM INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 62% · 2021 63% · 2022 69% · 2023 68% — growing more concentrated.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $392k 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.
