What Diversity Richmond Inc does
Mission
Diversity richmond is the hub of the lgbtq+ community of greater richmond connecting people, partners and programs in our work as a catalyst, a voice, a place and a resource. We envision a welcoming, inclusive and safe region for lgbtq+ people, families, and allies to live, work, play, and visit. Our work is guided by the values of accountability, belonging, community, future generations and making a difference. In 2025 over 35,000 people attended events produced or promoted by diversity richmond. Specifically, the organization provides: 1. Meeting space to four (4) twelve-step recovery programs (e.g., alcoholics anonymous) and three (3) support groups in addition to other local non- profit organizations. Diversity richmond occupies a 47,000 square foot facility in richmond, virginia that provides flexible meeting and programming space for lgbtq+ people, for the groups that provide services to them, and for people and groups in central virginia that support the organization's mission.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Diversity richmond operates a retail store that receives publicly donated items of clothing, household items, books and furniture. These items are then prepared for sale to the public through the organization's retail store branded as diversity thrift. A significant number of volunteer services are provided in the thrift shop in sorting, organizing and preparing donated items for sale. Revenues produced by diversity thrift are used to fund (a) the operations of diversity richmond, (b) the design and provision of educational, civic and cultural programming, and (c) the provision of direct cash support for agencies and groups that provide services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (lgbtq+) people in central virginia. Diversity richmond, through its program, diversity thrift, partners with approximately 27 social service and recovery programs by donating clothing to their clients in-need. For many of these agencies, diversity thrift is the only source of clothing available to their clients. Each participant is gifted a 25 clothing voucher which will purchase severalarticles of clothing. Diversity thrift also contributes approximately 200 items of clothing monthly…

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 $2.6M to $3.4M (+27%).
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 10% · 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
30% of DIVERSITY RICHMOND INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $500 → $101k.
5 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
DIVERSITY RICHMOND INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 47% · 2020 61% · 2021 34% · 2022 46% · 2023 49% — 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
33% of DIVERSITY RICHMOND INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% 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
DIVERSITY RICHMOND INC draws 86% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $112k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
