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 2021 to 2022, from $46M to $55M (+18%).

Government-grant reliance: 2020 1% · 2021 16% · 2022 12% · 2023 9% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
