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 49% · 2018 58% · 2019 47% · 2020 31% · 2021 58% · 2022 28% · 2023 18% · 2024 37%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
15% of SUMMERLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (11% for the typical peer).

From the CRA filings of SUMMERLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
SUMMERLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 91%; 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 SUMMERLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 92% · 2021 100% · 2022 81% · 2023 42% — 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
57% of SUMMERLAND COMMUNITY ARTS 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$12k that is directly attributable, 79% of it comes from funders outside British Columbia, across 3 regions.
In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$16k 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.
