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 2022 to 2023, from $4.3M to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2021 8% · 2022 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
