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 $246M to $498M (+102%).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 23 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $4.2M → $113M.
12 of 74 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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: $291M from 13 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United States Olympic and Paralympic Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money UNITED STATES OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE raised.

100% 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 UNITED STATES OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE.
