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 2021 to 2022, from $485k to $7.2M (+1395%).

Government-grant reliance: 2022 5% · 2023 10% · 2024 5% · 2025 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
