The 4 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 2019 to 2020, from $1000k to $650k (−35%).
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: 2021 13% · 2022 8% · 2023 22%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of TRI-COUNTY CRADLE TO CAREER COLLABORATIVE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Left out of every figure on this page: $413k from 6 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money TRI-COUNTY CRADLE TO CAREER COLLABORATIVE raised.
From the IRS filings of TRI-COUNTY CRADLE TO CAREER COLLABORATIVE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 TRI-COUNTY CRADLE TO CAREER COLLABORATIVE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 78% · 2019 100% · 2020 84% · 2021 73% · 2022 70% · 2023 31% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
