The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $56k to $161k (+185%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $750 → $127k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 99% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 Madagascar Water Project Inc PMB 888270.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 64% · 2022 92% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $389k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is 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.
