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.

Left out of every figure on this page: $77k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Boston Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE CAMERON M NEELY FOUNDATION FOR CANCER CARE INC raised.
