What Jespy House Inc does
Mission
To provide adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/dd) the opportunity to achieve their full potential and lead independent lives. Jespy's philosophy promotes individual choice, self-direction, and independent community living for 250 clients in south orange, nj.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The residential and community-based supports (rcbs) program supports clients on their independence journey, offering clients the opportunity to live on their own with the support of jespy's team of case managers and daily living skills (dls) counselors. New residential clients (usually young adults) start out in "the residence", a supervised apartment setting with 24/7 support. The residence offers our clients their first taste of what it is like to live independently. Each client has his or her own bedroom and shares the responsibilities of the apartment with their roommates. Our dedicated team teaches our clients to care for themselves and their apartments, how to be safe in the community, how to grocery shop, prepare meals, manage money, pay bills, and do chores. Most clients spend 2-4 years in the residence, and when they have mastered the skills necessary to live more independently, they move to one of our five shared houses, which offers a home-like setting with roommates under the supervision of a case manager, or to independent apartments or condominiums (not jespy owned) in the community with supports from jespy staff.jespy's five shared houses are located within walking…

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 2023 to 2024, from $12M to $21M (+76%).
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 40% · 2018 29% · 2019 27% · 2020 6% · 2021 19% · 2022 3% · 2023 11% · 2024 0% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

How concentrated its funding is
JESPY HOUSE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

“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
43% of JESPY HOUSE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% 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
JESPY HOUSE INC draws 82% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 14 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.

JESPY HOUSE INC runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 2,396 human services nonprofits its size.
