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 2023 to 2024, from $1.7M to $2.2M (+30%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Offender Aid and Restoration of Charlottesville and Albemarle.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 62% · 2019 79% · 2020 92% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
