What Green Project Inc does
Mission
Develop a culture of creative reuse by building a marketplace for reclaimed materials, cultivating a respect for their value.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Salvage store- through our salvage store, we reclaim usable building materials and resell them to the community at affordable prices. Materials include doors, windows, light fixtures, plumbing supplies, lumber, bricks and stone, tools and more. We intake materials via donation from community members and price them at 30-50% of retail value, depending on condition. Our goal through the salvage store is to reduce the amount of energy and resources needed to create new products while also keeping historic architectural pieces in new orleans.
$250,031 spent82% of program spendingAcquistions- tgps acquisitions program works to obtain donated building materials from the community. This includes conducting outreach to local individuals and businesses that may have materials to donate. We intake materials via drop-off and through free pick-ups using our truck. Because salvage store sales support additional smaller programs, maintaining a strong acquisitions program is key.
$27,933 spent9% of program spendingPaint recycling- we operate the first and only paint recycling center in the region. We accept usable latex/water-based paint for recycling year round, alleviating the burden of disposal for both residents and our local department of sanitation. We recycle all usable paint by batching and mixing like colors, then decanting it into new containers. We sell our recycled paint at a fraction of the cost of traditional paint. If paint is unusable, we process it for safe disposal.

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 $221k to $567k (+157%).
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 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
5% of GREEN PROJECT INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 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.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2018 and FY2019 filings.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income fell $20k → $7k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% 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 GREEN PROJECT INC’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
GREEN PROJECT INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
91% 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 GREEN PROJECT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 69% · 2018 100% · 2019 94% · 2020 70% · 2021 59% · 2022 100% · 2023 92% — 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.
Where its funders are
50% of GREEN PROJECT 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 $40k that is directly attributable, 72% of it comes from funders outside Louisiana, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $41k 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.
