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.

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 Ron Burton Training Village Inc.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
