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 $67M to $79M (+17%).
How it's funded, over time

9 of 85 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% 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: $579k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Aloha United Way Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF HONOLULU raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
31% 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.
