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 2020 to 2021, from $37M to $59M (+58%).
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 11% · 2019 8% · 2020 12% · 2021 15% · 2022 24% · 2023 14% · 2024 17% · 2025 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
24% of LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 15 funders, grant income rose $12k → $596k.
6 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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: $376k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Legacy Treatment Services Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES INC raised.
From the IRS filings of LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES 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
LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 81% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 92% · 2019 90% · 2020 68% · 2021 83% · 2022 83% · 2023 71% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
63% of LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 39% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES INC draws 97% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $167k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.

LEGACY TREATMENT SERVICES INC's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 15 as grant income climbed.
