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 41% · 2018 40% · 2019 40% · 2020 36% · 2021 44% · 2022 36% · 2023 32% · 2024 37%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
59% of FEAR IS NOT LOVE SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (2% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

How concentrated its funding is

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 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 FEAR IS NOT LOVE SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 37% · 2019 34% · 2020 31% · 2021 20% · 2022 25% · 2023 21% — diversifying over time.

Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 regions 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.
