What Building Community in New Hampshire does
Mission
To be a multi-ethnic mutual assistance organization that provides an array of services required by diverse refugee and immigrant communities that help newcomers to understand and navigate the systems that are part of every day life.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Refugee case Management: Job placement and essential services to refugees from Congo, Myanmar, Haiti, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. In 2024, our case managers served approximately 300 refugees and humanitarian parolees, helping 89 find jobs, and enrolling families in basic public services, including 51 families in Medicaid, 15 in public schools, and 30 to find or improve their housing. We helped our clients talk to their landlords, their employers, and their children's teachers. We helped our clients update their visas and apply for permanent resident status.
$446,991 spent$601,784 earned by the program87% of program spendingMedical/Childhood nutrition: Our case managers-all trained as community health workers-ensured that our clients received required vaccinations and had access to medical care and insurance. Our focus on childhood nutrition and exercise reached dozens of families. We helped 80 families to enroll in SNAP and helped 123 people file for Medicaid. We helped 157 others with medical services ranging from TB testing and COVID vaccinations to securing emotional wellness services.
$34,511 spent$65,307 earned by the program7% of program spendingRefugee Education and Training: As part of our emphasis on employment, we helped clients enroll in job training programs supported by the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act. Approximately 20 people each week attended our on-site classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages. Eight older Bhutanese refugees met with us virtually to improve their English and to prepare for their citizenship tests.
$15,632 spent$43,115 earned by the program3% of program spendingCommunity Building and Civic Engagement: For many years, BCNH has helped refugees prepare for their citizenship tests. In 2024 we expanded that work, helping numerous New Americans register to vote and then get out to the polls. We helped build a foundation for lifelong civic engagement by convening sessions in Concord and Manchester where refugees from Afghanistan, Congo, Ukraine, and Bhutan - some citizens, some newly arrived - could talk with their school board members, city councilors, and a mayor. To foster connections across ethnicities, and to broaden our clients' understanding of their new home state and New Hampshire's natural beauty, we took them on two field trips to the White Mountains.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $230k to $447k (+94%).
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: 2020 55% · 2021 37% · 2022 32% · 2023 40% · 2024 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of BUILDING COMMUNITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $85k → $151k.
3 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 63% 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 BUILDING COMMUNITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE’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
BUILDING COMMUNITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
77% 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 BUILDING COMMUNITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 78% · 2021 23% · 2022 45% · 2023 27% — 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 BUILDING COMMUNITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 56% 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
63% of BUILDING COMMUNITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE'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 $359k that is directly attributable, 56% of it comes from New Hampshire funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $614k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
