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 43% · 2018 44% · 2019 44% · 2020 47% · 2021 52% · 2022 55% · 2023 49% · 2024 52%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
68% of KELOWNA GOSPEL MISSION SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 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 KELOWNA GOSPEL MISSION SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 29% · 2018 31% · 2019 33% · 2020 31% · 2021 24% · 2022 25% · 2023 39% — growing more concentrated.

In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$286k 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. 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.

These figures are read directly from the CRA's published T3010 data: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2017–2024), and the filings of 80 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
