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 2019 to 2020, from $57M to $91M (+61%).

Who funds it, year by year

19 of 142 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% 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: $15M from 10 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Gulf Coast Community Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money SARASOTA MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION INC raised.
