What Hudson River Community Sailing Inc does
Mission
We develop leadership and academic success in new york city youth through partnerships with public schools, and our diverse and vibrant community sailing center provides maritime education and recreation to the city at large.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Adult program: adaptive sailing provides waterfront access, sailing education, and community to new yorkers living with disabilities. People living with disabilities too often become isolated by a lack of recreational and social opportunities, especially those outdoors. Hrcs also hosts soldiers under sail, a veterans program providing instruction, membership, and community-building in partnership with the department of veterans affairs.

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 2017 to 2018, from $753k to $1.3M (+69%).
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 5% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 3% · 2021 14% · 2022 13% · 2023 5% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
32% of HUDSON RIVER COMMUNITY SAILING INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of HUDSON RIVER COMMUNITY SAILING INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 72 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
48% 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 HUDSON RIVER COMMUNITY SAILING INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 52% · 2018 24% · 2019 24% · 2020 18% · 2021 19% · 2022 19% · 2023 12% — 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. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
