What Lgbt Center of Greater Reading does
Mission
The Lgbt Center of Greater Reading creates, administers, and provides services, advocacy, and support to the greater reading lgbtq+ community, including our allies, with the goal that all may live a life of fulfillment, inclusion, and celebration.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The center's outreach efforts expanded significantly this year, allowing us to connect with more individuals across berks county and surrounding regions. Through school visits, tabling at community events, and participation in local coalitions, we increased visibility and built trust with lgbtq+ individuals in both urban and rural areas. We also launched new community education initiatives, including presentations for healthcare providers, businesses, and faith groups on how to better serve lgbtq+ people. These outreach efforts strengthened our role as a trusted community hub and resource for inclusion, advocacy, and support.
$182,437 spent52% of program spendingOur food pantry continued to serve as a vital lifeline for lgbtq+ individuals and families facing food insecurity. Over the past year, we distributed food to 2,424 unique households, many of whom experience barriers to accessing traditional food support. The pantry is an affirming space where clients could access healthy food, hygiene products, and resources.
$145,821 spent42% of program spendingThis year, our counseling department experienced tremendous growth in both reach and impact. We provided over 300 hours of affirming mental health services to lgbtq+ individuals and their families, offering support for issues such as identity, trauma, discrimination, and overall well-being. With a focus on accessibility, we expanded our sliding scale options, and strengthened our partnerships with county agencies to serve underinsured and uninsured clients.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $96k to $220k (+129%).
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 69% · 2022 53% · 2023 76% · 2024 31%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of LGBT CENTER OF GREATER READING’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
75% 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 LGBT CENTER OF GREATER READING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 49% · 2022 88% · 2023 47% — 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.

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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $74k 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.
