Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Citysquare fights the effects of poverty through a holistic, neighbor-centered approach by supporting neighbors to obtain and maintain permanent and affordable housing, promoting the availability of adequate income supports and financial stability for neighbors, strengthening connections to support, and by providing accessible, affordable, and healthy food to neighbors. Our comprehensive service model considers the full spectrum of social, behavioral, physical, and environmental needs to enable individuals and families' ability to thrive and allows neighbors to benefit from integrated services. Below are highlights of programs offered by Citysquare and some of the key achievements of 2024. (continued on schedule o:) on may 16, 2024, the Citysquare board of directors voted to cease all operations as of november 30, 2024.

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 2023 to 2024, from $15M to $3.1M (−79%).
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: 2017 32% · 2018 37% · 2019 40% · 2020 27% · 2021 50% · 2022 58% · 2023 51% · 2024 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
125% of CITYSQUARE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 34 funders to 61 funders, grant income rose $2.4M → $6.9M.
31 of 161 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% 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: $17M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest UBI Charitable Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CITYSQUARE raised.
From the IRS filings of CITYSQUARE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 161 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
CITYSQUARE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
58% 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 CITYSQUARE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 24% · 2018 32% · 2019 26% · 2020 30% · 2021 26% · 2022 37% · 2023 25% — broadly stable.
“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
40% of CITYSQUARE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% 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
92% of CITYSQUARE's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 16 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.
