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.
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 $8.9M to $9.9M (+10%).
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 52% · 2018 52% · 2020 55% · 2021 67% · 2022 58% · 2023 57% · 2024 55%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

Left out of every figure on this page: $9.0M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money YOUNG WOMENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NEW BRITAIN INC raised.

80% 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 WOMENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NEW BRITAIN INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $700k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
