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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $197k → $2.7M.

7 of 41 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $9.5M from 4 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The San Francisco Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money NON-PROFIT HOUSING ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA raised.
