The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $3k to $65k (+2071%).
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 80% · 2018 94% · 2019 97% · 2020 97% · 2021 87% · 2022 92% · 2023 92% · 2024 93%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
