The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $3k to $17k (+485%).
How it's funded, over time

100% of HOAKA MANA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
