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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $683k to $828k (+21%).
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.
85% of RICHARD MYLES JOHNSON FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

1 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $110k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest National Credit Union Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money RICHARD MYLES JOHNSON FOUNDATION raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 RICHARD MYLES JOHNSON FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 40% · 2018 50% · 2019 51% · 2020 79% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 53% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $330 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
