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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 236 funders to 452 funders, grant income rose $4.6M → $12M.

Left out of every figure on this page: $126M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Shriners Hospitals for Children). These are real filings, and they are not money THE SHRINERS' HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN raised.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $14M arriving through sponsors registered in 30 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.
