Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $2.8M to $3.7M (+30%).
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 22% · 2018 7% · 2019 4% · 2020 13% · 2021 7% · 2022 14% · 2023 9% · 2024 18% · 2025 26%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
