Programs
Family Home Services consists of family homes for adolescents, family homes for siblings, and treatment foster care. Treatment family homes for adolescents is a family style, residential program, which can serve six males or females, usually ages 12 to 17. Family Teachers are the primary treatment agents, along with a full-time Assistant Family Teacher, Overnight Staff, and a Senior Assistant Family Teacher. Family Teachers are responsible for structured supervision of youth in daily living and treatment activities. The couple and their assistant work on both treatment and skill building in the home, and with community and family resources in the childs life. A major focus of this program is teaching older youth functional skills - often referred to as independent-living skills - that can help them achieve success in school, their families, and work settings.

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. 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 2021 to 2022, from $5.2M to $5.9M (+14%).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 7 funders, grant income fell $108k → $98k.
7 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $23M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Father Flanagan's Boys' Home). These are real filings, and they are not money Boys Town New England Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Boys Town New England Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 27 of 28 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
Boys Town New England Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% 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
75% 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 Boys Town New England Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 95% · 2018 93% · 2019 61% · 2020 54% · 2021 60% · 2022 49% · 2023 51% — 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
33% of Boys Town New England Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
73% of Boys Town New England Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $384k that is directly attributable, 90% of it comes from funders outside Rhode Island, across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.

Boys Town New England Inc's revenue grew 35% between 2018 and 2024.
