Who funds it, year by year

1 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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: $20M from 7 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Mercy Medical Center - Sioux City Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money MERCY HEALTH SERVICES - IOWA CORP raised.

100% 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 MERCY HEALTH SERVICES - IOWA CORP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 54% · 2018 58% · 2019 43% · 2020 51% · 2021 79% · 2022 43% · 2023 52% — diversifying over time.
