The organization over time

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 $3.9M to $4.3M (+9%).
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 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 0% · 2020 13% · 2022 2% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

87% 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.
