Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $10.3B to $12.6B (+21%).
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 19% · 2019 20% · 2020 20% · 2021 21% · 2022 18% · 2023 17% · 2024 16% · 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
