What Greenagers Inc does
Mission
Greenagers works to inspire children and young adults to develop deep connections to land, work, and community. We prepare youth for success in work and life by offering paid jobs and education in the areas of conservation, sustainable farming, and related trades.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs

Each crew consists of 68 youth members led by a crew leader. Participants gain practical skills, learn to use specialized tools, receive on-site training from community specialists, and develop a deeper appreciation for local natural areas. This is paid employment for local youth with wages starting at $16.35 per hour.River Walk Stewards: This program connects apprentices with the Housatonic River Walk, a National Recreation Trail in Great Barrington, MA. Apprentices perform weekly maintenance, lead group tours and volunteer events, and receive mentorship from the River Walks horticulturalist and Greenagers' conservation staff.

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 2024 to 2025, from $3.2M to $4.4M (+36%).
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 1% · 2018 0% · 2019 2% · 2020 12% · 2021 11% · 2022 12% · 2023 6% · 2024 11% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
77% of GREENAGERS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 33 funders, grant income rose $55k → $624k.
9 of 78 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 GREENAGERS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 78 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
GREENAGERS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 9% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
38% 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 GREENAGERS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 50% · 2019 30% · 2020 15% · 2021 15% · 2022 14% · 2023 17% — 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
54% of GREENAGERS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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
58% of GREENAGERS INC's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M 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.
