The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $6k → $94k.
