Program

The geoc provides services in four areas: inclusive hiring services, transitional employment, workforce development, and programs for young adults. Inclusive hiring servicesgreyston provides support to businesses in adopting inclusive hiring practices through mentoring, an e-learning portal, data collection, and recruitment.

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 $14M to $20M (+42%).
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 20% · 2018 12% · 2019 29% · 2020 14% · 2021 11% · 2022 21% · 2023 21% · 2024 50%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of GREYSTON FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 22 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $146k → $207k.

From the IRS filings of GREYSTON FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 74 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
GREYSTON FOUNDATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
25% 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 GREYSTON FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 17% · 2018 16% · 2019 21% · 2020 42% · 2021 41% · 2022 35% · 2023 12% — 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
32% of GREYSTON FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
GREYSTON FOUNDATION INC draws 62% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 17 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $906k arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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
GREYSTON FOUNDATION INC's funding base is broadening — from 22 funders to 23 as grant income climbed.
