Programs
Youth: The ministry of CBF caters to youth coming from under resourced communities of New York City. Our Carmel NY campus is a safe place for the youth to experience the beauty God created. We bring youth for single and multi-day retreats where they are involved in a variety of activities. During these retreats, relationships are built, and individuals are given the opportunity to learn about God, through teaching, small group activities, worship, and prayer. Relationships are followed-up through mentoring, online tools and resources, and programs in New York City. A key goal is to connect youth with an active relationship in the church.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2020 to 2021, from $455k to $616k (+36%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year

3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
61% 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 Children's Bible Fellowship of New York Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 90% · 2021 90% · 2022 89% · 2023 83% — 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.
Where its funders are
61% of Children's Bible Fellowship of New York 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 $35k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $56k 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.
