The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $128k to $156k (+23%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
48% 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 SAN ANTONIO BAY PARTNERSHIP INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 85% · 2018 96% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 33% · 2022 50% · 2023 50% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $395 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.
