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 4% · 2022 18% · 2023 4% · 2025 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
62% of SOUTH CAROLINA FFA ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Left out of every figure on this page: $850k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest South Carolina Future Farmers of America Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money SOUTH CAROLINA FFA ASSOCIATION raised.

How concentrated its funding is
SOUTH CAROLINA FFA ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 96% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 SOUTH CAROLINA FFA ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2023 86% — diversifying over time.
