The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $16M to $20M (+27%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2017 24% · 2019 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year

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 MITCHELL COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION AND ENDOWMENT FOR EXCELLENCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 58% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 84% — diversifying over time.

Where its funders are

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $229k 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.
