The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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: 2019 48% · 2020 20% · 2021 38% · 2022 4% · 2023 40% · 2024 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of SKIPPING STONE SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (4% for the typical peer).

From the CRA filings of SKIPPING STONE SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 50 funders by total. Association, not causation.

How concentrated its funding is
SKIPPING STONE SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 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 SKIPPING STONE SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 66% · 2020 28% · 2021 29% · 2022 29% · 2023 27% — 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.

In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$629k 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.
