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.
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 65% · 2018 26% · 2019 43% · 2020 44% · 2021 51% · 2022 56% · 2023 65% · 2024 69%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
72% of Neighborhood Finance Corporation’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (12% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Left out of every figure on this page: $10k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money Neighborhood Finance Corporation raised.
From the IRS filings of Neighborhood Finance Corporation’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
Neighborhood Finance Corporation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 Neighborhood Finance Corporation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 93% · 2019 91% · 2020 94% · 2021 93% · 2022 67% · 2023 62% — diversifying over time.
