What Belonging to Each Other Inc does
Mission
Belonging to each other, inc. Provides loving support and guidance to our falmouth mass neighbors as they transition to stable housing. This includes temporary cold-weather housing and year-round housing stabilization services, and nutritional support of emergency shelters in falmouth for people living outdoors during extreme winter weather.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our residential program provided 2181 nights of free, warm housing to 32 individuals in the six coldest- weather months. Residents are provided with transportation, access to internet, phone and computers, and connection to food, health care and other needed services while they addressed their unique issues in getting and keeping affordable, stable housing. Residents and other falmouth-connected people experiencing homelessness are provided with free re-housing services using volunteers and professional staff knowledgable about local services and housing operations for individuals with low income and/or special needs. These services are available year-round. Bteo also supports the in from the streets program in falmouth as it provides a motel-based safety-net in falmouth during freezing weather. Individuals in falmouth obtained 2671 nights of emergency shelter; 7413 meals were prepared and delivered by bteo volunteers and staff. Bteo program staff helped the local emergency services network find and place eligible falmouth people, some of whom later moved into our residential program and on to stable housing.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $221k to $1.5M (+567%).
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: 2023 56% · 2024 86%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
69% of BELONGING TO EACH OTHER INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (38% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 18 funders, grant income rose $3k → $446k.
3 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% 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 BELONGING TO EACH OTHER INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
BELONGING TO EACH OTHER INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
25% 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 BELONGING TO EACH OTHER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 73% · 2019 63% · 2020 28% · 2021 37% · 2022 35% · 2023 34% — diversifying over time.
“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
70% of BELONGING TO EACH OTHER INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
89% of BELONGING TO EACH OTHER INC's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $244k 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.
