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 64% · 2018 70% · 2019 78% · 2020 73% · 2021 80% · 2022 84% · 2023 90% · 2024 112% · 2025 76%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
106% of THE DEFIANCE COMMUNITY CULTURAL COUNCIL INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 THE DEFIANCE COMMUNITY CULTURAL COUNCIL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 91% · 2022 67% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.

57% of THE DEFIANCE COMMUNITY CULTURAL COUNCIL INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $69k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $90k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
