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 $681k to $1.9M (+173%).

Government-grant reliance: 2017 3% · 2020 28% · 2021 22% · 2022 17% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
