The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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.
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: 2019 12% · 2020 30% · 2021 52% · 2022 15% · 2023 43% · 2024 94% · 2025 98%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of VIRGINIA BIOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH PARK ACTIVATION CAPITAL’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).

Left out of every figure on this page: $398k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Grow Capital Jobs Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money VIRGINIA BIOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH PARK ACTIVATION CAPITAL raised.
From the IRS filings of VIRGINIA BIOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH PARK ACTIVATION CAPITAL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund VIRGINIA BIOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH PARK ACTIVATION CAPITAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 statesis excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
