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 35% · 2018 37% · 2019 39% · 2020 39% · 2021 29% · 2022 18% · 2023 32% · 2024 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
70% of CANADIAN PARAPLEGIC ASSOCIATION (B.C.)’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (6% for the typical peer).

CANADIAN PARAPLEGIC ASSOCIATION (B.C.) leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 88%; 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 CANADIAN PARAPLEGIC ASSOCIATION (B.C.).
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 68% · 2019 57% · 2020 48% · 2021 44% · 2022 47% · 2023 58% — 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.
How long its funders stay
47% of CANADIAN PARAPLEGIC ASSOCIATION (B.C.)'s funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
95% of CANADIAN PARAPLEGIC ASSOCIATION (B.C.)'s grant income comes from British Columbia funders.
In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$126k 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.
