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 38% · 2018 37% · 2019 59% · 2020 58% · 2021 63% · 2022 65% · 2023 55% · 2024 55%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
1% of DISABILITY ALLIANCE BC SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (6% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 DISABILITY ALLIANCE BC SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 90% · 2019 90% · 2020 94% · 2021 90% · 2022 95% · 2023 95% — growing more concentrated.
