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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from C$3.6M to C$2.1M (−42%).
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 25% · 2018 33% · 2019 46% · 2020 45% · 2021 13% · 2022 1% · 2023 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
50% of ENGINEERS WITHOUT BORDERS (CANADA) ORGANIZATION/INGENIEURS SANS FRONTIERES (CANADA) ORGANIZATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (8% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 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 ENGINEERS WITHOUT BORDERS (CANADA) ORGANIZATION/INGENIEURS SANS FRONTIERES (CANADA) ORGANIZATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 29% · 2018 26% · 2019 29% · 2020 38% · 2021 44% · 2022 46% · 2023 45% — growing more concentrated.

Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$923k 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.
