The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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: 2024 98%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of IOWA STATEWIDE INDEPENDENT LIVING COUNCIL (SILC)’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of IOWA STATEWIDE INDEPENDENT LIVING COUNCIL (SILC)’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

Where its funders are
100% of IOWA STATEWIDE INDEPENDENT LIVING COUNCIL (SILC)'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $79 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.
