The organization over time

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.7M to $1.4M (−16%).
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 9% · 2018 11% · 2019 6% · 2020 13% · 2021 15% · 2024 4% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
