The goal of the program is bringing youth together in productive and mindful ways to reduce stigmas, bias, and violence that can occur toward each other when all that is hitherto perceived is difference and exclusion. The program provides students with life-enhancing activities that develop life skills to effectively handle everyday stresses and to prepare them for future responsibilities at school, work, and home.

These activities were a part of a larger organizational effort to bring older adults out of early-pandemic isolation and provide safe programming spaces; a significant number of older adults have been terrified to leave their homes over the past few years due to covid and the sharp rise in anti-asian hate crimes.

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 2021 to 2022, from $5.1M to $12M (+132%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $94k → $1.1M.
8 of 44 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $876k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest City Hall Senior Center Peaceful Garden Society). These are real filings, and they are not money HAMILTON-MADISON HOUSE INC raised.
From the IRS filings of HAMILTON-MADISON HOUSE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 44 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
HAMILTON-MADISON HOUSE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
66% 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 HAMILTON-MADISON HOUSE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 83% · 2019 84% · 2020 58% · 2021 47% · 2022 49% · 2023 61% — 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
29% of HAMILTON-MADISON HOUSE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% 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
86% of HAMILTON-MADISON HOUSE INC'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. $194k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
