What Imentor Inc does
Mission
Imentor is a not-for-profit organization that partners with public high schools in low income communities, where a majority of students served will be first-generation college graduates. Imentor believes in the transformative power of mentorship as a force for good. Imentor connects mentors, mentees, and partners to harness their guidance and experience, build lasting relationships, and transform lives. Imentor's impact uplifts entire communities and strengthens our social fabric, one school at a time.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Imentor is demonstrating how the strength of the relationship between a mentor and mentee can translate into meaningful results at a national scale. This year, the organization served 8,505 students in over 50 schools across the u.s. This includes 2,857 students in new york city, 1,449 students in chicago, and 217 students in baltimore. Of these students, 1,703 were enrolled in imentor's post-secondary program. In addition, 3,982 students were enrolled across the country with imentor's partnership with big brothers big sisters (bbbs) and other like organizations.

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 $22M to $37M (+71%).
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: 2021 21% · 2022 10% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of IMENTOR INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 36 funders to 56 funders, grant income rose $5.9M → $11M.
28 of 181 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $3.0M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Robin Hood Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money IMENTOR INC raised.
From the IRS filings of IMENTOR INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 181 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.
How concentrated its funding is
IMENTOR INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
45% 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 IMENTOR INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 24% · 2019 36% · 2020 20% · 2021 23% · 2022 21% · 2023 19% — 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
37% of IMENTOR INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
60% of IMENTOR 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. $27M arriving through sponsors registered in 19 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.
