The organization over time

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $287k to $383k (+34%).
How it's funded, over time

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
