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.
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 32% · 2018 32% · 2019 29% · 2020 38% · 2021 43% · 2022 47% · 2023 44% · 2024 39% · 2025 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
