NOVA SCOTIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION

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 4% · 2018 1% · 2019 2% · 2020 14% · 2021 22% · 2022 25% · 2023 18% · 2024 28%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Surplus & reserves

How concentrated its funding is

NOVA SCOTIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.

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 NOVA SCOTIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 45% · 2018 55% · 2019 50% · 2020 83% · 2021 71% · 2022 55% · 2023 63% — growing more concentrated.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.

How long its funders stay

47% of NOVA SCOTIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 66% give in more than one year at all.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Where its funders are

70% of NOVA SCOTIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Nova Scotia funders.

Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$358k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 regions 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.
