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.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $10k → $35k.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $313k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
