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 2023 to 2024, from $3.1M to $3.5M (+14%).
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 64% · 2018 50% · 2019 61% · 2020 69% · 2021 55% · 2022 59% · 2023 70% · 2024 72% · 2025 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
