Programs
Site-Based Program: During the course of 2024/2025 fiscal year, 519 children were matched with a caring volunteer from the community for professionally managed, one-to-one, school and site based mentoring. The mentoring occurred an average of one hour weekly each week over the course of the school year on location at the child's school, at the corporate partner's location, or via virtual meeting platforms. In addition to the school and site based sessions, eligible site based matches were invited to attend virtual group outings, sponsored by BBBSNEFL, and benefited from various agency programs and support efforts to enhance participant engagement and promote participant satisfaction and thus retention rate in the subsequent FY. End of year reports indicate advances were made by the majority of students engaged in the program as they pertain to academic, behavior, and social successes.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2024 to 2025, from $1.5M to $2.0M (+37%).
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: 2022 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $272k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
