What Hospice of St Lawrence Valley Inc does
Mission
Enhancing the quality of life through compassionate care for people affected by advanced illness and grief. Our key values include: people are entitled to a safe, comfortable death; people are entitled to make their own decisions about care at the end of life; grieving is normal, and people in grief deserve support to enable them to have an effective grieving process.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Hospice care - primarily devoted to providing comprehensive comfort care for people who have a prognosis of less than six months of life and for their families during the lives of our patients and following their deaths. Each patient's suffering, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, is addressed by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, social workers, spiritual care coordinators, counselors, personal care workers, and volunteer companions. 14,918 patient care days.

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 2020 to 2021, from $4.2M to $4.9M (+18%).
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 5% · 2021 8% · 2022 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
82% 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 HOSPICE OF ST LAWRENCE VALLEY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 98% · 2018 70% · 2019 41% · 2020 82% · 2021 78% · 2022 66% · 2023 57% — diversifying over time.

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. $56k 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.
