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 $15M to $40M (+164%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left

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 VITAL VOICES GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 48% · 2018 28% · 2019 37% · 2020 18% · 2021 30% · 2022 22% · 2023 33% — diversifying over time.
