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 $944k to $1.9M (+105%).
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 48% · 2018 64% · 2019 68% · 2020 57% · 2021 48% · 2022 43% · 2023 53% · 2024 59% · 2025 43%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
