What Deaf Hearing Communication Centre does
Mission
Organization promotes equal communication accessibility, educational service, cultural awareness and econcomic to the deaf, deaf blind, hard of hearing, and hearing populations by providing communication services, education and advocacy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Education & outreach: sign language services include education classes in local schools, and outreach classes are provided at the organization's workplace locations and private locations. Dhcc uses deaf teachers since sign language is their native language. Sensitivity training is offered to increase awareness of the impact of hearing loss on individuals, deaf culture, and to share communication options and strategies. Workshops are offered to sign language interpreters to help improve their skills. Dhcc also provides information about community resources and advocacy to deaf and hard of hearing individuals and/or their families.
$442,637 spent$110,135 earned by the program8% of program spendingInterpreting services: this is our largest program. Dhcc recruits and screens qualified american sign language (asl) interpreters to facilitate communication between deaf and hard of hearing individuals that use asl to communicate, and hearing individuals that use english. Dhcc sends interpreters to a variety of settings, including hospitals, physician's offices, court, lawyer's offices, businesses, colleges, universities, public school classes, public school conferences, and any situation where communication occurs. Hard of hearing individuals that do not use asl gain access through real-time captioning (cart). Dhcc advocates with hearing individuals to hire interpreters and captioners to provide communication access to deaf individuals.

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 $2.3M to $3.0M (+32%).
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 3% · 2021 4% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
2% of DEAF HEARING COMMUNICATION CENTRE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $10k → $24k.
2 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 DEAF HEARING COMMUNICATION CENTRE’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
DEAF HEARING COMMUNICATION CENTRE 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
34% 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 DEAF HEARING COMMUNICATION CENTRE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 74% · 2021 75% · 2022 32% · 2023 43% — 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
60% of DEAF HEARING COMMUNICATION CENTRE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
87% of DEAF HEARING COMMUNICATION CENTRE's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49k 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.
