The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $425k to $725k (+70%).
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 91% · 2018 96% · 2019 71% · 2020 65% · 2021 74% · 2022 52% · 2023 39% · 2024 34% · 2025 37%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
