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 2022 to 2023, from $3.3M to $6.8M (+106%).

Left out of every figure on this page: $299k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Nakasec Action Fund). These are real filings, and they are not money NATIONAL KOREAN AMERICAN SERVICE AND EDUCATION CONSORTIUM INC raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
53% 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 KOREAN AMERICAN SERVICE AND EDUCATION CONSORTIUM INC.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
