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 2023 to 2024, from $1.5M to $1.1M (−27%).
How it's funded, over time

100% 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 WOMEN'S LEARNING PARTNERSHIP FOR RIGHTS DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE LTD.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 82% · 2018 77% · 2019 83% · 2020 61% · 2021 59% · 2022 70% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.
