Hosts funds for others
PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUND FOR MARTHA'S VINEYARD administers funds on behalf of other donors. The grants recorded as coming in are contributions into those funds, so they count custody rather than support for a programPERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUND FOR MARTHA'S VINEYARD runs itself.

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.
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
