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 $553k to $432k (−22%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2022 58% · 2023 20% · 2024 35%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
