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 2020 to 2021, from $11M to $85M (+656%).
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 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2022 4% · 2023 6% · 2024 0% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
78% of ST LUKE'S FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (7% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 15 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $636k → $1.1M.
7 of 37 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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: $1.3M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Commonspirit Health). These are real filings, and they are not money ST LUKE'S FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of ST LUKE'S FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 37 funders by total. 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
ST LUKE'S FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 37% · 2019 41% · 2020 67% · 2021 54% · 2022 67% · 2023 49% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
23% of ST LUKE'S FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 41% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
ST LUKE'S FOUNDATION draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Arizona, across 10 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $431k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states 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.
Against its field
ST LUKE'S FOUNDATION runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 2,843 health nonprofits its size.
