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.
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 2% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 3% · 2021 3% · 2022 3% · 2023 2% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 530 funders by total. Association, not causation.

How concentrated its funding is
SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
59% 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 SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 25% · 2019 15% · 2020 9% · 2021 29% · 2022 35% · 2023 23% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $47M arriving through sponsors registered in 24 statesis 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.
