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 $3.8M to $4.7M (+23%).

Who funds it, year by year

17 of 66 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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: $20k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Angel Charity for Children Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money TU NIDITO CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES INC raised.
From the IRS filings of TU NIDITO CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 66 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
41% 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 TU NIDITO CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 30% · 2019 20% · 2020 33% · 2021 37% · 2022 26% · 2023 38% — growing more concentrated.
