What City Gate Inc does
Mission
The Organization provides educational and charitable activities to children and families in need as well as relief and development to underprivileged communities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
City Gate experienced challenges in resuming in-person program delivery following the COVID-19 pandemic. To restore its services, the organization began out-of-school time programming at three locations in the District of Columbia and one site in Prince Georges County. In the post-pandemic period, City Gate adjusted its programs and staffing to meet the social and emotional needs of participants and their families. The organization concentrated on addressing childhood homelessness and hunger, gun violence, involvement in child welfare systems-with a focus on foster care-and supporting children whose parents, guardians, or caregivers encounter mental health disorders, including substance use. City Gate also faced difficulties securing new and stable funding due to changes in government grant opportunities. In December 2024, City Gate closed its DC sites and reduced staff, while its executive leadership explored options to relaunch the organization.

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 2021 to 2022, from $299k to $428k (+43%).
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 83% · 2021 81% · 2023 74% · 2024 77%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of City Gate Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $142k → $16k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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 City Gate Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 6 of 7 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
City Gate Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 City Gate Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 96% · 2019 95% · 2020 84% · 2021 74% · 2022 79% · 2023 63% — growing more concentrated.
“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
City Gate Inc draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $94k 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.
