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 11% · 2018 6% · 2019 9% · 2020 41% · 2021 54% · 2022 24% · 2023 20% · 2024 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
43% of REVELSTOKE HERITAGE RAILWAY SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (5% for the typical peer).

REVELSTOKE HERITAGE RAILWAY SOCIETY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 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 REVELSTOKE HERITAGE RAILWAY SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 88% · 2018 65% · 2019 62% · 2020 72% · 2021 62% · 2022 43% · 2023 92% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$38k 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.
