What Marion Gerrish Community Center Inc does
Mission
We provide the environment, opportunity, and support to individuals and organizations, to build and strengthen our community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The community donates a wide variety of items to the thrift shop which are resold for a nominal fee. This keeps items out of landfills. We also recycle unsellable items. Together this provides a revenue source for the nonprofit while also providing the community with a resource of low cost items for those in need. We work with local service agencies to provide free items for clients of need. We re-donate items that local nonprofits need such as durable medical equipment, pet food and diapers. We also re-donate items to the groups using the building such as yarn for a knitting group. We support an on-site, little library with free books. The thrift shop itself acts as a community center, being a very unique shopping space where friends meet and are made! In 2025 we had 50,538 sales transactions. We tell everyone, "The thrift shop is small, but mighty!"
$1,211,223 spent$1,448,403 earned by the program77% of program spendingEvery year the organization provides free meeting space for 150 groups that are made up of teams, clubs, nonprofits, service agencies, support groups, home schoolers and more. We do not have residency restrictions on who can utilize the building. We aim to decrease the social isolation of older adults with our free programs including 2 games groups every weekday and monthly programs such as WiFi Cafe, entertainment, information sessions and movies. We have free programming to bring families together including 4 large scale events such as Family Fun Fest which has about 1,000 people in attendance. Our Winter Wiggles program gives physical activity to preschoolers and community for their caregivers. We operate a free after school enrichment program at Gilbert H Hood Middle school. We feel it is important to make our programming free so that it is accessible to everyone. Meeting space is available to rent, for a nominal fee, for businesses and parties, which provides another low-cost resource for the community. With the support from the Thrift store, 91 cents of every dollar goes back to the mission for Marion Gerrish Community Center.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.4M to $1.9M (+32%).
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: 2020 22% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 Marion Gerrish Community Center 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
43% 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 Marion Gerrish Community Center Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
