the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 WESTMINSTER-CANTERBURY OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 83% · 2021 98% · 2022 99% · 2023 98% — broadly stable.
