51% 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 MARYLANDERS TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2021 73% · 2022 67% · 2023 90% — diversifying over time.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
