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 19% · 2018 26% · 2019 14% · 2020 31% · 2021 27% · 2022 25% · 2023 32% · 2024 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
85% of INSTITUTE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (19% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
73% 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 INSTITUTE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 56% · 2019 68% · 2020 70% · 2021 66% · 2022 62% · 2023 73% — growing more concentrated.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $237k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
