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: 2020 83% · 2021 60% · 2022 64% · 2023 62% · 2024 15% · 2025 74%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of MARKET VANBUREN’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
30% 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 MARKET VANBUREN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 63% · 2023 63% — diversifying over time.
