the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% 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 LOVE INC OF CLAY COUNTY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 69% · 2019 53% · 2020 82% · 2021 52% · 2022 94% · 2023 96% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49k 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.
