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: 2020 10% · 2021 99% · 2022 90% · 2023 21% · 2024 53%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of THE ORCHARD FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (58% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $9k → $38k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% 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: $22M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Rapides Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money THE ORCHARD FOUNDATION raised.

“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.
Where its funders are
THE ORCHARD FOUNDATION draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Louisiana, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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. 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.
