The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2020 to 2021, from $323k to $442k (+37%).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $15k → $22k.
4 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% 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: $71k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest North Carolina Assoc of Educators Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money NORTH CAROLINA FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN raised.
From the IRS filings of NORTH CAROLINA FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

How concentrated its funding is
NORTH CAROLINA FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 CAROLINA FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 98% · 2023 50% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
Where its funders are
98% of NORTH CAROLINA FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $2k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $87k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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. 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.
