What McCord House Nfp does
Mission
Mc cord house is organized exclusively for the preservation and maintenance of the 1834 mc cord house as a historic structure and to have it serve as a learning center for the arts and history while showcasing the artistic works of community and regional artists
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Historic preservation - a very important goal for the founding board is to understand and promote the factual history of the home, the generations of mccord families who lived and worked the once substantial farm, the connell family who restored the home, and the relationship of the home to its community. The research has led to the mccord house being made a historic building in palos park. A community research project organized by the historic preservation commission of palos park, researched by a grad student from loyola university and contributions from locals interested in the history have helped add to the updated history of the home. Historical seminars are held at the mccord house gallery and cultural center in order to share and learn with regional, state, and national historians and organizations. Living history presentations are offered to the community and school groups.

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 2019 to 2020, from $1.6M to $1.5M (−6%).
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 23% · 2022 18% · 2023 5% · 2024 5% · 2025 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
53% of MCCORD HOUSE NFP’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 8 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $2k → $10k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 MCCORD HOUSE NFP’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.
How concentrated its funding is
MCCORD HOUSE NFP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
78% 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 MCCORD HOUSE NFP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 97% · 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. 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.
Where its funders are
56% of MCCORD HOUSE NFP's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $258 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.
Against its field
MCCORD HOUSE NFP's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
