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.
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 25% · 2018 14% · 2019 35% · 2020 22% · 2021 16% · 2022 39% · 2023 40% · 2024 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $525k → $9.7M.
8 of 35 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% 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: $7.4M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Kalamazoo Community Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF KALAMAZOO MI raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
27% 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 KALAMAZOO MI.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 68% · 2019 63% · 2020 60% · 2021 37% · 2022 66% · 2023 91% — diversifying over time.
