Programs
Acquisitions & pre-development:habitat for humanity of northern virginia believes hardworking families deserve a stable home where families can thrive and create economic mobility for themselves and their children. With the increasing costs of construction and land acquisition, habitat for humanity northern virginia continued to find creative ways to acquire, build, and renovate energy-efficient homes for income-eligible homebuyers. During the stub period (july 1, 2021 - february 28, 2022), we continued our partnership with a faith community to use a portion of their land to construct ten new energy-efficient, affordable townhomes.
$1,619,895 spent$1,326,474 earned by the program100% of program spendingConstruction:with so many families unable to find a safe affordable place to call home, habitat for humanity of northern virginia continued its construction and preservation programs in order to add to and maintain the affordable housing stock in northern virginia, despite the challenges of the covid 19 pandemic. During the stub period, construction of three new, energy-efficient single-family homes began on groveton street in fairfax county. The energy-efficient construction combined with installation of solar panels will assist in maintaining the homes affordable long term by reducing the owner's energy costs. These homes will be our first homes with four bedrooms, thereby allowing accommodation of larger families. In addition, these homes will be the first properties to be transferred into the virginia state community land trust (vsclt) which will help to maintain their affordability to low-moderate income families in a time of rapidly rising home and construction costs.
Homeownership program:families in need of a decent place to live build safe and affordable homes in partnership with us. Habitat houses are modestly sized. They are large enough for the homeowner family's needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs affordable. By using the labor of volunteers and prospective homeowners, employing efficient building methods, keeping house sizes modest, using donated construction materials and appliances, and helping buyers obtain affordable loans, habitat makes its houses affordable for low-income families to purchase. Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free families from instability, stress and fear and encourage self-reliance and confidence. Studies show that strong and stable households are foundational to child development and growth. Whena home fosters - instead of hinders - health and safety, families can flourish. Owning an affordable home also allows homeowners to lift up their entire family by saving for their futures and investing in educational opportunities, bolstering job opportunities and long-term career growth.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $5.1M to $0 (−100%).
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: 2020 27%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

11 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% 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 HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF NORTHERN VA’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.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF NORTHERN VA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF NORTHERN VA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 62% · 2018 55% · 2019 46% · 2020 58% · 2021 79% · 2022 57% · 2023 83% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $266k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
