What Furniture Bank of Southeastern Connecticut Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to serve families in need of furniture due to hardship. We are located in Gales Ferry, Connecticut, and serve all of Southeastern Connecticut. We purchase new beds with funds from grants, donations, and twice yearly tag sales and give them free of charge to people referred to us by social service agencies and churches. We also collect donated furniture, although the rising cost of storage has required that we scale down this part of our operation. The people we serve are referred by about 60 State agencies, women's shelters, churches, and other organizations that help people in need. During fiscal year 2025, we were able to help 238 families. Donated furniture and purchased cribs and toddler beds are stored in a locker at Cube Smart in Gales Ferry. The locker is provided free of charge by the management, saving us about $6,000 per year in rental fees.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2023 to 2024, from $10k to $27k (+175%).
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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
