01What it does

What Fidelity House Inc does

Mission

We serve people across their lifespan, starting at the age of three and through the end of life. While we are known for serving people with disabilities, we support a growing number of people with brain injuries, medical and behavorial challenges, dementia, and veterans with service-related disabilities. We partner with them to pursue their goals and live a fulfilled life. Our skilled employees provide resources, expertise and direct support for all people we serve.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Residential services provides opportunities for small group living in 29 community residences as well as independent living in local apartments. The goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where each individual is encouraged to be as independent as possible. Direct service professionals provide as little or as much support as needed. Attention to medical care is paramount. Our clinical and medical employees get to know each individual, monitor all medical treatments and make sure that daily care is tailored to each individual's clinical and medical needs. Services are also provided to individuals with acquired brain injuries (abi) and the turning 22 (t22) population.

02The organization over time

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $56k → $102k.

8 of 32 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% 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 FIDELITY HOUSE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 32 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

FIDELITY HOUSE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% 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

32% 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 FIDELITY HOUSE INC.

How long its funders stay

29% of FIDELITY HOUSE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $264k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
