01What it does

What Amenity Aid does

Mission

Amenity Aids mission is to end hygiene insecurity in Rhode Island by supplying essential hygiene products to individuals and families in need. We do this by supplying social service agencies around the state with hygiene products required for basic hygiene, wellness and dignity.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. In 2024, Amenity Aid collaborated with over 110 community organizations and dedicated volunteers to distribute 194,196 full-size hygiene products to marginalized communities across Rhode Island. Through its Addressing Hygiene Insecurity in Rhode Island program, Amenity Aid improves the health and well-being of disadvantaged populations by providing essential hygiene products that promote wellness, dignity, and inclusion. The program serves low- to moderate-income individuals, including those who are unemployed, underemployed, unhoused, at-risk veterans, immigrants, refugees, LGBTQIA+ youth, victims of violence, and human trafficking survivors. In 2024, over 104 volunteers donated 5,582 hours of their time to organize, pack and deliver hygiene product donations.

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 22 funders, grant income rose $14k → $193k.

4 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% 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 Amenity Aid’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 28 of 30 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

Amenity Aid has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left

55% 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 Amenity Aid.

“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

86% of Amenity Aid's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 57% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $218k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2021–2024), and the filings of 30 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
