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 2017 to 2018, from $7.1M to $14M (+100%).
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: 2018 31% · 2019 30% · 2020 7% · 2021 6% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
12% of THE SCENIC RIVERS YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of THE SCENIC RIVERS YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 14 of 16 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% 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 SCENIC RIVERS YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 84% · 2018 90% · 2019 62% · 2020 46% · 2021 52% · 2022 68% · 2023 55% — 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.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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. 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.
