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 2020 to 2021, from $19M to $38M (+103%).

From the IRS filings of YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF GREATER LOS ANGELES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 21 of 22 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF GREATER LOS ANGELES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 40% · 2018 78% · 2019 54% · 2020 59% · 2021 98% · 2022 51% · 2023 64% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
