Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base narrowed from 9 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $146k → $142k.
4 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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: $8k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Appalachian Regional Healthcare); $5k from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest West Virginia University Medical Corporation). These are real filings, and they are not money THE ARH FOUNDATION FOR HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES INC raised.
From the IRS filings of THE ARH FOUNDATION FOR HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% 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 THE ARH FOUNDATION FOR HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 34% · 2023 70% — 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.

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.
