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.
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 94% · 2018 96% · 2019 96% · 2020 97% · 2021 98% · 2022 97% · 2023 95% · 2024 95%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
8% of BLACK GOLD SCHOOL DIVISION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (0% for the typical peer).

From the CRA filings of BLACK GOLD SCHOOL DIVISION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 9 of 11 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
BLACK GOLD SCHOOL DIVISION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 BLACK GOLD SCHOOL DIVISION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 85% · 2019 86% · 2020 86% · 2021 75% · 2022 47% · 2023 58% — growing more concentrated.
“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 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
43% of BLACK GOLD SCHOOL DIVISION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 82% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
BLACK GOLD SCHOOL DIVISION draws 59% of its grant income from funders outside Alberta, across 2 regions in all.
In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$91k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 region 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 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.
