The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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: 2018 63% · 2019 64% · 2020 68% · 2021 77% · 2022 66% · 2023 71% · 2024 72% · 2025 71%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
