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.
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: 2017 40% · 2018 20% · 2019 23% · 2020 26% · 2021 17% · 2022 22% · 2023 25% · 2024 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of NORTH LOUISIANA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $11k → $157k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% 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: $66k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Christus Health Northern Louisiana). These are real filings, and they are not money NORTH LOUISIANA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP INC raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
39% 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 LOUISIANA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 56% · 2019 96% · 2020 68% · 2021 60% · 2022 55% · 2023 64% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $576k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 stateis 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.
