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: 2019 37% · 2020 7% · 2021 55% · 2022 48% · 2023 56% · 2024 69%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of SOUTHWEST ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Left out of every figure on this page: $689k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Southwest Counseling Solutions). These are real filings, and they are not money SOUTHWEST ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS INC raised.
From the IRS filings of SOUTHWEST ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS INC’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
SOUTHWEST ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
57% 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 SOUTHWEST ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 82% · 2018 73% · 2019 67% · 2020 39% · 2021 46% · 2022 52% · 2023 48% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $202k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
