What Hinge Neighbors Inc does
Mission
We use a place led approach to create a profitable neighborhood development and housing master plan. We are committed to following a community-driven process to connect two distinct neighborhoods. This approach will leverage the assets of each to build one growing community. The power of placemaking is demonstrated by forging community partnerships and collaborations countering community skepticism, ensuring neighborhood maintenance and sustainability. We organize, empower and involve residents and community partners currently separated by the Inner Loop to create a cohesive neighborhood using an engaged, transparent and inclusive planning process for executing the Inner Loop North plan. Our values of community, communication, creation, compassion & equity will guide this work. The result will be an interconnected community of residents and business owners working together to create and sustain a thriving neighborhood.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Community Development: We presented to the city the possibilities of 46 Weld Street and they allowed us to have control on the lot for 2 years while we develop plans for building 4 units and finding a way to purchase the next door lot. We have met with funders, banks and foundations to help us with this process and intend on culminating our plans in 2025/2026.

By aligning with the Rochester 2034 Comprehensive Plan, particularly focusing on pedestrian-friendly designs, creating aesthetically pleasing spaces, and bolstering multi-modal travel, we intend to create vibrant, inclusive environments that celebrate local assets and strengthen neighborhood ties. While we are waiting for the Inner Loop North Project to unfold over the next 2 years, it is essential to keep our neighbors involved and aware of the project. The Marketview Mews Project is designed to do just that while activating Bohrer Alley which presently is unsafe, harbors people who are engaged in illegal activities, encourages speeding traffic, and unhealthy dumping. We will create awareness and clean up the alley influencing the City, owners and landlords, especially Pathstone and Rochester Health Authority to do their duty for the residents whose properties border on the alley. We have been able to get the City of Rochester and Pathstone to trim the vegetation that was blocking light. Constant communication with the City of Rochester has decreased dumping and time…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $12k to $55k (+354%).
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.
100% of Hinge Neighbors Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (77% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2022: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income rose $20k → $25k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 Hinge Neighbors 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
Hinge Neighbors Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
50% 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 Hinge Neighbors Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 75% · 2020 100% · 2021 67% · 2022 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
58% of Hinge Neighbors 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. $10k 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.
Against its field
Hinge Neighbors Inc's funding has concentrated — grant income rose while the number of funders held roughly flat.
