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 2023 to 2024, from $1.2M to $1.8M (+57%).
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 88% · 2018 92% · 2019 91% · 2020 81% · 2021 98% · 2022 87% · 2023 4% · 2024 92% · 2025 96%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of CONNECTICUT RESOURCE CONSERVATION & DEV AREA INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

61% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. 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 CONNECTICUT RESOURCE CONSERVATION & DEV AREA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 91% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
