The organization over time

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
51% 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 NORTH AMERICAN FRIENDS OF ISRAEL OCEANOGRAPHIC RESEARCH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
