Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $38k to $78k (+108%).

Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
