What Figure Skating in Harlem Inc does
Mission
Figure skating in harlem helps girls transform their lives and grow in confidence, leadership and academic achievement. We are the only organization in the world for girls of color that combines the power of education with access to the artistic discipline of figure skating to build champions in life.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In FY25, Figure Skating in Harlem continued to expand our mission beyond our local community as our Disney+ docuseries, Harlem Ice, brought our story to the entire world. We also announced efforts to expand by pursuing a permanent, year-round rink of our own in Harlem. Across our core I Can Excel program, Summer Dreams, Winter Dreams, and Pipeline 2 Power program, we served 427 girls and young women this year, a 7% over FY24. FSHs Detroit chapter also became an independent nonprofit operating under its own 501c3.

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 2022 to 2023, from $2.5M to $3.2M (+29%).
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: 2017 3% · 2018 2% · 2019 3% · 2020 4% · 2021 8% · 2022 6% · 2023 8% · 2024 16% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of FIGURE SKATING IN HARLEM INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 8 funders to its left
63% 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 FIGURE SKATING IN HARLEM INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 22% · 2018 16% · 2019 24% · 2020 13% · 2021 16% · 2022 19% · 2023 18% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
