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 2020 to 2021, from $75M to $193M (+159%).
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: 2017 9% · 2018 12% · 2019 21% · 2020 29% · 2021 19% · 2022 21% · 2023 23% · 2024 34% · 2025 31%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of THREE SQUARE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (96% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 56 funders to 106 funders, grant income rose $1.9M → $4.5M.
24 of 278 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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: $215k from 10 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Intermountain Medical Holdings Nevada Inc); $5k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Three Square). These are real filings, and they are not money THREE SQUARE raised.
From the IRS filings of THREE SQUARE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 278 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
THREE SQUARE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
77% 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 THREE SQUARE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 20% · 2019 52% · 2020 32% · 2021 83% · 2022 24% · 2023 38% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
47% of THREE SQUARE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
51% of THREE SQUARE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $29M that is directly attributable, 70% of it comes from funders outside Nevada, across 36 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31M arriving through sponsors registered in 16 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.
