What Expecting Relief does
Mission
To provide equitable access to nutrition, diapers, and to gather data to advocate change and defeat generational poverty by distributing essentials, educating, and advocating through designing opportunities to address food, diapers, and maternal infant health in impoverished areas that focus on racial disparities and biases that plague the injustices among black and brown families.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
As of 2023, Expecting Relief now offers a maternal Dula health program to address the maternal health disparity in Brooklyn, New York which has the highest rate of maternal health disparity in the United States. A Dula is a trained professional who provides needed physical, emotional, and educational support during and after child birth to achieve the most satisfying experience as possible. Families living in impoverished areas receive the support of a Dula and essential items such as diapers, formula, breast pumps, and other necessities to address the needs of both the infant and mother.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $5k to $100k (+1775%).
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: 2021 16% · 2022 4% · 2023 28% · 2024 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $22 → $2k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% 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 Expecting Relief’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 6 of 9 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
Expecting Relief leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
38% 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 Expecting Relief.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 99% · 2023 99% — 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.
Where its funders are
Expecting Relief draws 96% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $65k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
