The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
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 $1.1M to $1.2M (+15%).
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: 2018 81% · 2019 78% · 2020 80% · 2021 70% · 2022 73% · 2023 77% · 2024 68%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of POWERS LIBRARY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
