I'd really like to hear something more than a guess :) In the sense: Could it be said that we are now reasonably financially safe?

I read the official blog [1] about it, but it doesn't have rationale. And I am too lazy to analyze it.
So, may someone give us the reasons why this fundraising finished so quickly.
I have to say that I'm very positively surprised by this fact, as I was much more pessimistic in relation to the future fundraising.
The main question -- which could be just guessed if we have accurate rationale for this fundraising record -- is how sustainable is the growth (or even the stagnation with this amount of money)?
In relation to the question above, I'd be much more happy to hear that this is the product of staff's work, than the product of some global social changes. Although it would be great if the world is changing so quickly, it's much more unpredictable variable than work inside of the organization.
