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 83% · 2018 85% · 2019 85% · 2020 24% · 2021 37% · 2022 22% · 2023 17% · 2024 16% · 2025 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
