the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
65% 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 MANITOWOC COUNTY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 99% · 2020 68% · 2021 56% · 2022 73% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $243k 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.
