The goal of the project is to make new york more affordable, reverse outmigration, and support economic growth and opportunity. An economist was hired to put together the data and assemble recommendations, with input from stakeholders, partner organizations (chambers, idas, trade associations) and selected investors. Significant fundraising was done to support the project and the marketing of final recommendations.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $158k to $392k (+149%).
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. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Left out of every figure on this page: $67k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF NEW YORK STATE INC raised.

44% 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.
