What Historic Cherry Hill does
Mission
Preservation, research & educational programs of historic nature centered around a prominent albany family over generations. Property preservation includes real estate as well as personal property (collections).
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Curatorial and collection care costs are incurred to conserve, preserve and protect the thousands of notable historic documents and objects that are part of the cherry hill collection. These items are preserved for exhibition to the public as well as used in historical research. The organization owns a separate structure that was designed and constructed specifically for the cherry hill collection that houses its curatorial and collection activities and is made available to visiting research professionals.
$53,048 spent22% of program spendingEducational programs are designed to provide tours, exhibit media and publications to the general public regarding the historical significance of local life over more than 250 years. The organization also provides tours and demonstrations to school groups, educators and scholars. School groups from within the city of albany are provided these programs without charge. Other school groups are provided tours at a reduced cost. A significant number of volunteers are trained to provide tours of the historic property and provide information regarding the collection items on exhibition. For 2024, approximately 5,000 people were served through the various educational programs (both on-site and virtual)offered by cherry hill.

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 $305k to $378k (+24%).
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 18% · 2018 0% · 2019 1% · 2020 30% · 2021 61% · 2022 64% · 2023 75% · 2024 57%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of HISTORIC CHERRY HILL’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $8k → $18k.
3 of 15 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.

How concentrated its funding is
HISTORIC CHERRY HILL has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
40% 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 HISTORIC CHERRY HILL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 97% · 2018 70% · 2019 48% · 2020 48% · 2021 31% · 2022 39% · 2023 43% — 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
50% of HISTORIC CHERRY HILL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
79% of HISTORIC CHERRY HILL'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. $23k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
