The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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

Government-grant reliance: 2021 4% · 2022 3% · 2023 7% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
