What Neighborhood Bike Works does
Mission
Neighborhood Bike Works provides equitable access to bicycling and bike repair through education, recreation, leadership and career building opportunites.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Neighborhood Bike Works (NBW) leverages the power of bicycles to create opportunities for learning, mobility, and economic advancement. Through an integrated model of youth and adult programming, NBW provides equitable access to bicycling and bike repair while building practical skills, confidence, and long-term pathways to success. Our Youth Bicycle Education and Empowerment Program (YBEEP) engages young people-primarily from under-resourced communities- in hands-on learning that combines bicycle mechanics, riding, and leadership development. Youth earn bicycles, develop problem-solving and teamwork skills, explore their city and regional trails, and progress into advanced opportunities including paid internships, apprenticeships, and peer leadership roles.

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 2024 to 2025, from $541k to $819k (+51%).
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: 2017 2% · 2022 20% · 2023 3% · 2024 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than 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 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 14 funders to 19 funders, grant income rose $105k → $227k.
8 of 48 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 48 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
NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% 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
34% 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 NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 54% · 2019 59% · 2020 25% · 2021 52% · 2022 38% · 2023 41% — 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
39% of NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
92% of NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $360k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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
NEIGHBORHOOD BIKE WORKS's funding base is broadening — from 14 funders to 19 as grant income climbed.
