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 32% · 2018 41% · 2019 37% · 2020 41% · 2021 23% · 2022 31% · 2023 25% · 2024 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
53% of THE GREATER TRAIL AREA CREATIVE ACTIVITIES CENTRE SOCIETY FOR THE VISUAL ARTS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (16% for the typical peer).

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 THE GREATER TRAIL AREA CREATIVE ACTIVITIES CENTRE SOCIETY FOR THE VISUAL ARTS.

Where its funders are
67% of THE GREATER TRAIL AREA CREATIVE ACTIVITIES CENTRE SOCIETY FOR THE VISUAL ARTS'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.

Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$40k 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.
