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 2022 to 2023, from $574k to $392k (−32%).
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 52% · 2018 51% · 2019 49% · 2020 47% · 2021 45% · 2022 44% · 2023 6% · 2025 50%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
