What Gay Men's Health Crisis Inc does
Mission
Over 9,000 clients are served by gmhc's programs each year. Gmhc provides a broad array of programs through the efforts of clinicians, trained volunteers, and professional staff who identify undiagnosed cases on hiv, ensure access and entry to coordinated primary medicalcare and maintain clients in care through integrated "wrap around" services that target many of the drivers of hiv disease, such as unmet substance abuse, mental health, legal and employment needs. Gmhc also provides counseling and other risk reduction services to those at high risk for hiv and other sexually transmitted infections ("stis"), conducts community level interventions to targeted subpopulations at high risk in order to influence health seeking social norms, and facilitates leadership.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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 2020 to 2021, from $20M to $122M (+522%).
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 59% · 2018 59% · 2019 61% · 2020 70% · 2021 74% · 2022 64% · 2023 52% · 2024 54%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 47 funders to 66 funders, grant income rose $1.0M → $2.2M.
20 of 162 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 162 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
GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 56%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
71% 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 GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 36% · 2019 72% · 2020 50% · 2021 49% · 2022 48% · 2023 46% — 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
40% of GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
59% of GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $6.4M that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $9.0M 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.
