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: 2018 21% · 2019 20% · 2020 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
29% of BRADFORD WEST GWILLIMBURY FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (28% for the typical peer).

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 BRADFORD WEST GWILLIMBURY FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 86% · 2021 82% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

Where its funders are
69% of BRADFORD WEST GWILLIMBURY FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$5k 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.
