The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $986k to $1.7M (+72%).
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: 2019 7% · 2020 99% · 2021 94% · 2022 95% · 2023 96% · 2024 95% · 2025 88%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of COLD SPRING SCHOOL INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).

Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COLD SPRING SCHOOL INC.
