The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 46 funders to 76 funders, grant income rose $5.4M → $7.4M.
42 of 205 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 49% 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: $7.7M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Robert O Anderson School and Graduate School of Management Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO FOUNDATION INC raised.
From the IRS filings of UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 205 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 NEW MEXICO FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 60% · 2018 29% · 2019 52% · 2020 24% · 2021 35% · 2022 75% · 2023 25% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $41M arriving through sponsors registered in 26 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.
