What Long Island Association Inc does
Mission
Lia is a business membership group that supports economic development on long island.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The long island association (lia) is the region's leading non-profit and non-partisan business organization and has been advocating for economic development, growth, and a positive business climate on long island since 1926.
The strategic committees of the lia explore topics critical to our region's economic growth and hold events so members can network and connect with business and government leaders. The lia also hosts annual events with globally recognized and influential speakers, including the state of the region, evening of honors, and luncheon.
The lia is a respected voice and resource on topics critical to long island's economy through its annual policy priorities, research reports, programs, and ongoing leadership in areas including supporting small businesses; addressing long island's affordability; advocating for infrastructure investments; and cultivating innovation.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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.
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 $2.2M to $1.5M (−34%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

From the IRS filings of LONG ISLAND ASSOCIATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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 — 1 funder to its left
88% 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 LONG ISLAND ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
