The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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: 2017 91% · 2018 93% · 2019 93% · 2020 92% · 2021 84% · 2022 43% · 2023 56% · 2024 55% · 2025 57%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
