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 2024 to 2025, from $320k to $0 (−100%).
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 38% · 2018 35% · 2019 33% · 2020 32% · 2021 43% · 2022 28% · 2023 32% · 2024 35% · 2025 39%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
