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 74% · 2018 78% · 2019 77% · 2020 70% · 2021 77% · 2022 70% · 2023 76% · 2024 76%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of SEA TO SKY INVASIVE SPECIES COUNCIL’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (10% for the typical peer).

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 SEA TO SKY INVASIVE SPECIES COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 83% · 2020 100% · 2021 78% · 2022 100% · 2023 65% — diversifying over time.
“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.
Where its funders are
91% of SEA TO SKY INVASIVE SPECIES COUNCIL's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the C$37k that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from funders outside British Columbia, across 2 regions.
In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$371k 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.
