What Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House does
Mission
We sustain and grow the legacy of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Beecher familys Cincinnati home and its time as the Edgemont Inn. We facilitate historical exploration, inspire positive change, and support dialogue about social issues related to that heritage.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is a historic house museum and cultural site that is part of the Ohio History Connection network. We offer a dual time period interpretation focusing on 1840 and 1940. We tell the story of Harriet and the 18 years that she spent in Cincinnati as instrumental in developing her anti-slavery passion and enabling her to write Uncle Toms Cabin. We also tell the story of the houses role as the Edgemont Inn, an African American boarding house, tavern, and community space in the 1930s and 1940s. Through restoration, some parts of the House look like 1840 and other parts look like 1940 - furnishings, floor coverings, wall coverings. By sharing the story of abolitionism and equity in the 19th century, we can relate her words and deeds to the Houses role in the civil rights concerns of the 20th century and social justice issues today. 2024 programs include the following great events: Semi-Colon Club - Book Discussion (HBS volunteers serve as facilitators) February, April, June, August and October Power of Voice Discussion Group (John Getz as facilitator) February, March, April, May, September, October, November, December Lecture/Panel Discussion Series - March…

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. 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 2020 to 2021, from $144k to $189k (+31%).
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 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
65% of Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 10 funders, grant income fell $42k → $39k.
3 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House’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
Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
25% 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 Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 45% · 2019 100% · 2020 45% · 2021 28% · 2022 31% · 2023 26% — 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
50% of Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
86% of Friends of Harriet Beecher Stowe House's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
