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 2024 to 2025, from $7.8B to $8.9B (+14%).
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 13% · 2018 12% · 2019 12% · 2020 12% · 2021 12% · 2022 11% · 2023 11% · 2024 11% · 2025 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
14% of University of Miami’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (14% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 257 funders to 455 funders, grant income rose $40M → $122M.
64 of 1214 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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: $498M from 78 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Atlantic Coast Conference); $59M from 2 payers (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money University of Miami raised.
From the IRS filings of University of Miami’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 1214 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
University of Miami has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 11% of grant income, and it takes 15 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 15 funders to its left
63% 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 University of Miami.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 16% · 2018 16% · 2019 33% · 2020 19% · 2021 28% · 2022 21% · 2023 23% — 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
39% of University of Miami's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
University of Miami draws 57% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 43 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $101M arriving through sponsors registered in 22 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.
