What Aeris Insight Inc does
Mission
See schedule o.aeris strives to increase the flow of capital benefiting low-income and disadvantaged people and communities by creating greater transparency and accountability among mission-driven nonprofits and enterprises. Aeris provides comprehensive, third-party analysis of community development financial institutions (cdfis) and related data and contract services that aid investors and donors in their investment decision-making. Subscribers to aeris' services use highly standardized data, ratings, and in-depth analysis of a cdfi's social impact activities and financial strength to guide investment decisions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Ratings - aeris insight, inc. Provides an independent assessment of a cdfi's impact management capacity and financial strength and performance. Aeris reports help investors confidently assess cdfis that match their social and environmental impact objectives and risk parameters and helps strengthen the financial, portfolio, and impact management of cdfis. During 2024, aeris issued ratings reports on 71 cdfis, which supported investments by 43 cdfi investors in low-income and under-served communities across the united states. As part of our ratings services, we continued to offer "programmatic ratings" through a partnership with a national trade association. Programmatic ratings support the strengthening and growth of smaller cdfi loan funds that provide financing in the most difficult to serve communities across the us.

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.
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 $2.5M to $1.6M (−36%).
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: 2021 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
14% of AERIS INSIGHT INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
