What Haskins Laboratories Inc does
Mission
Haskins laboratories is an independent, international, multidisciplinary community of researchers conducting basic research on spoken and written language. Exchanging ideas, fostering collaborations and forging partnerships across the sciences, it produces groundbreaking research that enhances our understanding of, and reveals ways to improve or remediate, speech perception and production, reading and reading disabilities and human communication.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The board of directors have approved a plan of dissolution and distribution of assets (the plan). In conjunction with haskins laboratories overall plan, effective march 31, 2023, haskins laboratories and yale university reached a mutual understanding whereby haskins laboratories' employees with grant funding would make formal requests, individually, for employment and to have their grants transferred to and administered by yale university. Thus, a majority of haskins laboratories' research grant activity ceased in march 2023. Subsequently, haskins laboratories continued to wind down its administrative functions, including paying down any remaining liabilities, a final distribution of remaining assets and finalize the dissolution of the laboratory in accordance with the plan. The new york attorney general approved the dissolution on february 12, 2026.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.6M to $127k (−92%).
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 97% · 2018 86% · 2019 85% · 2020 69% · 2021 67% · 2022 69% · 2023 105%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $28k → $718k.
1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 HASKINS LABORATORIES 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
HASKINS LABORATORIES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
32% 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 HASKINS LABORATORIES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 97% · 2019 44% · 2020 49% · 2021 55% · 2022 76% · 2023 71% — 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.
Where its funders are
HASKINS LABORATORIES INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Connecticut, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $710k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
Government funding HASKINS LABORATORIES INC receives
Grants and contracts to this organization from federal (USASpending) and state checkbooks, reconciled to its EIN. $18.2M on record.

Federal grants vs contracts are distinguished; state line items keep their reported category. Matched by name + geography (the BMF), so coverage is partial and precision-first.
