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.
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 19% · 2018 34% · 2019 32% · 2020 42% · 2021 78% · 2022 87% · 2023 36% · 2024 38%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 71% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 88% — growing more concentrated.
