Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Goodwill Northern New England transfered four of its healthcare programs to NeuroRestorative, a local division of Sevita Health in 2025. This included Residential services, LifeWorks, Supported Living, and two NeuroRehabilitation clinics. This change ensured clients confinued to receive the highest quality care possible while also allowing Goodwill Northern New England to focus on its core mission, to provide workforce development services and employment programs.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Retail: Employees of the retail division collected over 60 million pounds of donated goods from communities throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and northern Vermont. Those goods, along with other items, were sorted, processed, and priced for sale in 29 brick & mortar stores, two buy-the-pound outlets, and four online stores. T-shirts and other textiles that were not sold through these channels were baled and sold in the aftermarket. Computer donations are sorted for their highest and best use through our Good Tech initiative or responsibly recycled through our partnership in Dell Reconnect. The retail division provides job training opportunities for our Workforce Services participants as appropriate.

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 $64M to $86M (+34%).
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 8% · 2018 8% · 2019 7% · 2020 11% · 2021 11% · 2022 19% · 2023 11% · 2024 13% · 2025 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
14% of Goodwill Industries of Northern NE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 14 funders, grant income rose $560k → $569k.
7 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 67% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Goodwill Industries of Northern NE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 Goodwill Industries of Northern NE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 53% · 2019 51% · 2020 58% · 2021 93% · 2022 76% · 2023 66% — growing more concentrated.
“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 Goodwill Industries of Northern NE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% 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
67% of Goodwill Industries of Northern NE'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 $5.1M that is directly attributable, 75% of it comes from funders outside Maine, across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
