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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 34 funders to 45 funders, grant income rose $1.0M → $1.6M.

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 RAMAPO FOR CHILDREN INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
