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 2022 to 2023, from $8.7M to $4.6M (−48%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income rose $18k → $29k.
2 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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: $104k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Community Foundation of Washington County Maryland Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL INC raised.
From the IRS filings of WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 11 of 12 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.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 54% · 2019 68% · 2020 23% · 2021 42% · 2022 77% · 2023 71% — 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $24k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
