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 2018 to 2019, from $6.4M to $6.9M (+8%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 7 funders, grant income fell $138k → $44k.
5 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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: $383k from 6 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Community Foundation of Broward Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE GAY & LESBIAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE INC raised.
From the IRS filings of THE GAY & LESBIAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 23 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
64% 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 GAY & LESBIAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 54% · 2018 50% · 2019 64% · 2020 36% · 2021 40% · 2022 55% · 2023 36% — diversifying over time.
“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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year

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.
