What Access Services Inc does
Mission
To empower and serve people in need of specialized supports by providing innovative services that improve their ability to live fulfilling lives in the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Intellectual disability & autism services believe in empowering an individual's abilities and unlocking their full potential. Disability does not mean inability. Our various programs facilitate personal growth and help individuals reach their goals. We offer community-based programs, both in-home and off-site, where social skills and exciting activities promote development in life skills. Employment services create individualized plans and a comprehensive approach in services that focus on expanding competitive employment opportunities through employment skills training, job match and on-going job support. Our robust lifesharing program and community living homes are designed to create a true home living experience focused on support and care for those we serve.
$24,551,482 spent$28,269,014 earned by the program56% of program spendingBehavioral health services recognize the value of community and relationships in healing and wellness. Access services provides a variety of programs that support the lifespan - from 18 months through all of adulthood - and meet needs across crisis intervention to long-term support delivered to individuals and families. These services include programs focused on serving our unhoused populations and working with people to meet housing needs. We believe every person needs to build a life worth living. Our services are, by design, person-centered so that the individuals we serve and their goals, remain the primary focus. We seek to partner with other providers and resources to maximize outcomes for those we collectively serve and to integrate health for the whole person.

Our foster care programs give children and youth the opportunity to join unique families created through love that provide safe, stable environments in their lives for both short and extended periods of time. Other programs within the children & family service line provide services in youth mentoring, advocacy, life skills training and educational support, including our access learning academy.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $18M to $21M (+18%).
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 34% · 2018 24% · 2019 24% · 2020 27% · 2021 34% · 2022 33% · 2023 29% · 2024 16% · 2025 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $28k → $28k.
5 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ACCESS SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 17 of 18 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
ACCESS SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 27% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
45% 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 ACCESS SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 47% · 2019 47% · 2020 41% · 2021 59% · 2022 62% · 2023 54% — 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.
How long its funders stay
30% of ACCESS SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
98% of ACCESS SERVICES INC's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $350k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is 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.

Grants and contracts to this organization from federal (USASpending) and state checkbooks, reconciled to its EIN. $1.2M on record.
