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 $302k to $423k (+40%).
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: 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of NEW SANCTUARY MOVEMENT OF PHILADELPHIA’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
26% 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 NEW SANCTUARY MOVEMENT OF PHILADELPHIA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 67% · 2019 47% · 2020 40% · 2021 59% · 2022 35% · 2023 51% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $298k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
