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 69% · 2018 78% · 2019 83% · 2020 83% · 2021 82% · 2022 75% · 2023 73% · 2024 80%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
75% of THE ELIZABETH FRY SOCIETY OF OTTAWA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (4% for the typical peer).

Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$224k 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.
