The organization over time

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: 2020 14% · 2021 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
