The organization over time

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $5.5M to $6.2M (+12%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2021 1% · 2022 4% · 2023 3% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
