What Mill Neck Foundation Inc does
Mission
The mission of the foundation is to encourage the inclusion of deaf people in all facets of society: religion, educational, social and vocational. Among its priorities is accessibility to quality educational programs, the evangelism of deaf people by trained christian clergy, and the publication/production of specialized materials for use with deaf persons in religious and educational settings.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Grants awarded - since 1978 the mill neck foundation has granted approximately $8,500,000 to organizations worldwide that provide inclusion opportunities for deaf people in educational, vocational, and religious settings. The foundation has funded programs to train lutheran pastors and lay people to include deaf people in their congregations. The foundation and its valued donors have also provided annual support to the mill neck manor school for the deaf, mill neck services, and lutheran friends of the deaf, inc. The organizations funded by the foundation provide significant services to individuals who are hearing impaired and provide a tremendous level of social impact that would not be possible without the support of the foundation.

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 2017 to 2018, from $29M to $24M (−15%).
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 26% · 2021 19%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

How concentrated its funding is
MILL NECK FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 75%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
60% 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 MILL NECK FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 58% · 2019 66% · 2020 62% · 2021 46% · 2022 37% · 2023 51% — 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
38% of MILL NECK FOUNDATION INC'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
60% of MILL NECK FOUNDATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $80k that is directly attributable, 56% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $120k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
