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 34% · 2018 33% · 2019 33% · 2020 55% · 2021 55% · 2022 46% · 2023 37% · 2024 48%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
33% of VDC DANCE CENTRE SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (10% for the typical peer).

From the CRA filings of VDC DANCE CENTRE SOCIETY’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
VDC DANCE CENTRE SOCIETY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 70%; 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 VDC DANCE CENTRE SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 78% · 2019 39% · 2020 54% · 2021 63% · 2022 58% · 2023 46% — growing more concentrated.
