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 90% · 2019 91% · 2020 94% · 2021 97% · 2022 96% · 2023 97% · 2024 95% · 2025 98%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
