Programs
Children and Youth Program (G2 Kids, G.S.A.L.T., G2 Interns Afterschool and Summer, Special Projects): In a neighborhood where compounding risks exponentially increases the chance of damaging outcomes in students lives, Graffiti 2s after school and summer programs for children and youth focus on holistically developing all areas of the students life (physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual). Graffiti 2s program provides developmentally appropriate enrichment, targeted tutoring, mentoring, advocacy, and wrap-around social services for the student and their families. These services are provided year-round to 1st through 12th grade students.
$156,744 spent46% of program spendingWorkforce Development Program (G2 Works): One in five young adults in Mott Haven are considered idle. They are not in school and are not employed. Additionally, 20 percent of adults seeking work are unemployed, and there are thousands of first-generation adult immigrants. Seeing not only the needs of our neighbors but their great potential, Graffiti 2's Workforce Development Program, called G2 Works, coaches adults in developing the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual skills necessary to become the best they are capable of becoming through one of two components: 1) adults interested in pursuing personal growth and education can find resources and assistance through Graffiti 2s Adult Learning Center; and 2) the Get2Work program provides assistance and support to individuals looking for a job.
$69,629 spent20% of program spendingCommunity Outreach: Graffiti 2's Community Outreach Activities and Events create opportunities for the organization to make meaningful connections with individuals who are not regularly enrolled in programs.

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 2019 to 2020, from $119k to $270k (+127%).
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 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Graffiti 2 Community Ministries’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $1k → $50k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 Graffiti 2 Community Ministries’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
Graffiti 2 Community Ministries leans on a few funders — its largest provides 72% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
86% 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 Graffiti 2 Community Ministries.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 100% · 2022 81% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
84% of Graffiti 2 Community Ministries's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
Graffiti 2 Community Ministries runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 3,734 youth development nonprofits its size.
