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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 17% · 2018 20% · 2019 24% · 2020 26% · 2021 31% · 2022 24% · 2023 13% · 2024 23% · 2025 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
63% 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 POLK EDUCATION FOUNDATION AND BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP INC.
