What Medards House does
Mission
Medard's house is a christ centered ministry house that serves to be the extension of the family for teenagers. It is a safe place to socialize and bond with peers, connect with community leaders and role models, learn the value of service through provided teachings, realize talents and dreams and verbalize and immobilize fears through the love of the community and the power of the holy spirit.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Medard's house acts as a second home for middle and high school youth after school and is the only free year-round program in our school district focusing on middle and high school students. Medard's house has purposefully chosen to combat the most pressing issues facing teenagers today, including obesity, drug and alcohol use, mental health, and homelessness. Medard's house offers a free, supportive teen-driven space with a hot meal served family style; multiple opportunities for sports and arts; homework help; a teen-tended garden; a large family room with couches, tvs, and video games; large open green space; and on-site mentoring. The purpose is to support teens and their families, reduce negative and self-defeating behaviors, equalize risk factors, and guide youth toward a fulfilled adulthood. Currently, the after-school program hosts about 40 youth four times per week. Over the last few months, medard's house has also used their facility as a shelter to address the pressing issue of homelessness in cumberland county. Medard's house also turns its attention to addressing a rising number of local youth and adolescents who are experiencing homelessness. Data shows there are…

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 $869k to $1.0M (+17%).
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 16% · 2023 73% · 2024 45% · 2025 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
81% of MEDARDS HOUSE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $6k → $76k.
5 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 MEDARDS HOUSE’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
MEDARDS HOUSE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
66% 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 MEDARDS HOUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 33% · 2019 100% · 2020 54% · 2021 24% · 2022 44% · 2023 33% — 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
45% of MEDARDS HOUSE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% 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
87% of MEDARDS HOUSE's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $77k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
MEDARDS HOUSE's funding base is broadening — from 2 funders to 8 as grant income climbed.
