Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $761k to $1.1M (+48%).
How it's funded, over time

Left out of every figure on this page: $118k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Chester County Bar Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CRIME VICTIMS' CENTER OF CHESTER COUNTY raised.
