the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% 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 PROGRESSIVE LEARNING INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 95% · 2021 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
