What Crossroads of the American Revolution Association Inc does
Mission
From the heights of the palisades at fort lee to the shores of the delaware river at red bank battlefield, the crossroads of the american revolution national heritage area offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore the impact of the american revolution.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Crossroads presented two workshops for heritage partners. In march, the workshop was held at morristown national historical park co-sponsored by the morris county tourism bureau. The workshop covered ways to incorporate interpretive themes, volunteer recruitment, and visitor readiness requirements into historic site programming. The workshop also featured a speed consulting session with professionals in the field. In october, a workshop was held to assist historic sites to understand dress in new jersey and the mid-atlantic region during the revolution, and to help them select and prepare period-appropriate reproduction clothing for their staff and volunteers. Three experts in the field presented. The workshop was held at the historic trenton masonic temple.
Crossroads continued to participate in revolutionnj, a partnership between it and the nj historical commission, to plan the state's official commemorative activities for the nation's 250th anniversary. As the nonprofit partner, crossroads' staff worked to create and maintain the website, social media accounts, and media/marketing for the initiative, and develop numerous programs including four (4) 5k races at historic sites and parks significant to new jersey's revolutionary history.
After many years renting office space in a 1759 national historic landmark site, crossroads moved its offices to a recently updated building. Staff effected most of the move themselves. This represented both a major upheaval in operations and a relief to move into a space with reliable hvac, internet connectivity, and better overall amenities.

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 2017 to 2018, from $70k to $336k (+379%).
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.

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
CROSSROADS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ASSOCIATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
68% 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 CROSSROADS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 100% · 2019 78% · 2020 85% · 2021 56% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k 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.
