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.

Left out of every figure on this page: $6.3M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Saint Francis Medical Center Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money SAINT FRANCIS MEDICAL CENTER raised.

From the IRS filings of SAINT FRANCIS MEDICAL CENTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.

How concentrated its funding is

SAINT FRANCIS MEDICAL CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

70% 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 SAINT FRANCIS MEDICAL CENTER.
