In 2025 we offered both semi-private and private lessons.

$467,862 spent$144,263 earned by the program62% of program spendingSince 1972 Mane Stream has provided therapy services and adaptive horseback riding for children and adults with special needs. In 2025 we served 19 clients with 279 visits to our occupational therapists,speech language pathologists and mental health provider. In 2025 Mane Stream did not offer physical therapy sessions. We also saw 36 students in our program with the Pillar Elementary School. Our medical treatment program provides intensive one-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed therapist utilizing the movement of the horse as a treatment strategy. The unique combination of an on-site clinic and the use of the horse provides a one of a kind therapy setting. We are grateful to the many volunteers who make our programs possible. During 2025, over 150 volunteers provided 7,060 hours of assistance for our programs. Of those hours, 720 were spent in direct service to our therapy services clients.

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 2018 to 2019, from $2.1M to $1.6M (−25%).
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 30% · 2022 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 26 funders, grant income rose $35k → $250k.
9 of 55 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Mane Stream Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 55 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
Mane Stream Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 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 Mane Stream Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 69% · 2019 57% · 2020 50% · 2021 19% · 2022 35% · 2023 28% — 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
58% of Mane Stream Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
Mane Stream Inc draws 60% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 10 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $742k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
