The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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: 2022 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of JOLT ACTION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Left out of every figure on this page: $3.4M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jolt Initiative); $17k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Jolt Action Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money JOLT ACTION INC raised.
From the IRS filings of JOLT ACTION 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 JOLT ACTION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 32% · 2019 67% · 2020 49% · 2021 43% · 2022 61% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
