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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $207k to $499k (+141%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2021 16% · 2022 25% · 2023 21% · 2024 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
42% 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 Open Doors of Asheville Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 52% · 2018 44% · 2019 70% · 2020 24% · 2021 53% · 2022 42% · 2023 36% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $927k arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
