74% 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 YOUNG WOMENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
