What East Calais Community Trust does
Mission
Promote the preservation and community development of the east calais village in the town of calais
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
East calais community truct (ecct) purchased the east calais store and three low to moderate income apartments through donations and grants. In 2022, it continued to collect grant, donations and rental income while restoring the building. In october 2022, ecct created a wholly-owned subsidiary, (kingsbury branch community partners, llc - ein -5611)to act as a general partner in a for-profit entity (4520 historic enterprise limited partnership). "4520" will apply for historic property status, finish restoration and operate the property. The renovation of the historical building at 4520 route 14 in east calais vt complied with all historic preservation requirements. The general store opened for business october 1, 2023. In 2024 besides buying some refrigeration equipment for the east calais store, ecct was relatively inactive.

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 2022 to 2023, from $104k to $1.1M (+991%).
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: 2022 34% · 2023 72%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of EAST CALAIS COMMUNITY TRUST’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (77% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $7k → $311k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 EAST CALAIS COMMUNITY TRUST’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
EAST CALAIS COMMUNITY TRUST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 88% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 EAST CALAIS COMMUNITY TRUST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 81% · 2021 100% · 2022 60% · 2023 100% — 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.

100% of EAST CALAIS COMMUNITY TRUST's grant income comes from Vermont funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
