Programs

A broad range of options is offered that are designed to help individuals remain in their family home or apartment by providing life skills training, travel training, vocational support and a variety of other supports. Individual support advocates meet with individuals and families to design an array of supports that help the individual to build skills, safely access the community and fulfill their goals and objectives.

$1,682,658 spent$2,037,227 earned by the program56% of program spendingOvernight respitelaunched in april 2012, overnight respite is at the core of friendship home's mission. Adults with developmental disabilities may stay at our state of the art "home away from home" for periods of one night to two weeks. While visiting, they experience independence, learn new skills and have fun, while their caregivers have the opportunity to attend to other priorities and replenish their energy. We have two five-bedroom units. The first respite unit opened in april, 2012 for weekends and the second unit opened for weekends during 2013. During fy 2025, the respite program delivered over 1,487 bed/days of service to 110 unique guests from southeastern massachusetts and the boston area.

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 $6.3M to $7.9M (+26%).
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: 2020 5% · 2021 2% · 2022 6% · 2023 0% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
25% of FRIENDSHIP HOME INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $121k → $379k.
7 of 49 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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 FRIENDSHIP HOME INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 49 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
FRIENDSHIP HOME INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
40% 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 FRIENDSHIP HOME INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 67% · 2019 56% · 2020 21% · 2021 30% · 2022 17% · 2023 16% — 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
66% of FRIENDSHIP HOME INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
89% of FRIENDSHIP HOME INC's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $754k 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. 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.
