Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $588k to $1.2M (+103%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
89% 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 FAMILY CAREGIVERS ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2018 94% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 99% · 2022 93% · 2023 52% — diversifying over time.
