Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $650k to $1.6M (+148%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
62% 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 NORTHWEST LA COMMUNITY DEV CORP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 69% · 2018 58% · 2021 100% — growing more concentrated.
