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 2017 to 2018, from $160M to $194M (+21%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 1% · 2020 1% · 2021 0% · 2022 10% · 2023 1% · 2024 0% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 52 funders to 95 funders, grant income rose $2.0M → $4.7M.
32 of 204 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 11 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Triangle Community Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF THE TRIANGLE AREA INC (4598) raised.
From the IRS filings of THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF THE TRIANGLE AREA INC (4598)’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 204 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.

76% 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 THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF THE TRIANGLE AREA INC (4598).
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 22% · 2018 19% · 2019 39% · 2020 14% · 2021 85% · 2022 19% · 2023 17% — diversifying over time.
“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

Where its funders are
51% of THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF THE TRIANGLE AREA INC (4598)'s grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $26M arriving through sponsors registered in 19 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.
