What Fraternity House Inc does
Mission
The Mission of Fraternity House, Inc. is to provide warm and caring homes where vulnerable individuals living with HIV/AIDS can receive comprehensive care and services in order to rebuild their health and return to independent living; or where they can spend their last days in comfort and dignity.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Fraternity House, Inc. is a service organization that only cares for people who are diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and are homeless, housing insecure, or low-income. The five current largest program services are: 1 Housing, 2 Caregiving, 3 Case Management, 4 Activities and Rehabilitation The Dignity Project, and 5 Semi-Independent Living. Housing focuses on the overall operations and maintenance of our 24-hour care home. Caregiving is the backbone of our 24-hour care services, being necessary in fulfilling state licensing requirements. Residents receive 24-hour per day personal care and are supervised in their activities of daily living and in adherence with complex medication regimens. Both Case Management and Activities/Rehabilitation connect our residents with medical, mental health, and other needed services as well as goal setting to rebuild their lives and obtain a greater level of independence. We engage every resident in working toward a return to independent living. As of 2025, Semi-Independent Living is in its fifth-year operating apartments where residents live quasi-independently with a safety net of services to ensure continued autonomy.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $449k to $339k (−25%).
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 73% · 2022 74% · 2023 75% · 2024 66% · 2025 73%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 6 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $76k → $31k.
5 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 Fraternity House Inc’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
Fraternity House Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
45% 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 Fraternity House Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 52% · 2019 72% · 2020 77% · 2021 71% · 2022 33% · 2023 40% — 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 Fraternity House Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
74% of Fraternity House Inc's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $34k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
