As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Victim services - national compassion fund was jointly developed by national center for victims of crime, inc. (ncvc) with 70 victims and families of some of the worst mass-casualty crimes in united states history, including 9/11, columbine, virginia tech, niu, aurora, oak creek sikh temple, sandy hook, and las vegas. The fund distributes money donated as cash payments to the victims, and they themselves decide how to best use the money to recover and rebuild their lives. The fund is overseen by ncvc, which is advised by a panel of experts in crime victim compensation and recovery. The panel includes representatives of the victims of past mass casualty crimes.

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 2019 to 2020, from $7.8M to $1.8M (−77%).
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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
86% 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 NATIONAL CENTER FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 73% · 2019 81% · 2020 36% · 2021 83% · 2022 54% · 2023 76% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
13% of NATIONAL CENTER FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 20% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
52% of NATIONAL CENTER FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $14M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 17 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15M arriving through sponsors registered in 22 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.
