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 86% · 2018 83% · 2019 72% · 2020 78% · 2021 91% · 2022 64% · 2023 84% · 2024 83%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
3% of LAKELAND AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (40% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

How concentrated its funding is
LAKELAND AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
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 LAKELAND AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% — broadly stable.
