Programs
Alliance - each year, the state of south carolina department of commerce notifies edp (and other regional development organizations) of amounts available to them. In order to receive the full amount available, edp must match the amount in private contributions. The funds received from the state do not have specific restrictions; they just have to be related to economic development.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $9.5M to $5.3M (−44%).
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.
