The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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

Government-grant reliance: 2020 4% · 2025 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of NEW LIFE FURNITURE BANK OF MA INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (39% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $824k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
