What Neighborhood House does
Mission
Since 1897, when the women of mount zion temple created a safe haven for jewish refugees fleeing persecution in russia, Neighborhood House has been a stronghold in the st. Paul community, helping all people in need. A welcoming presence for thousands of refugees, immigrants, and others in transition or crisis, Neighborhood House is a full-service hub for those seeking assistance with basic needs from food to housing and helps people create future opportunities through education and programming for families, youth, and adults.Neighborhood House has supported people from more than 50 different cultural backgrounds and nationalities over the decades, nimbly adapting to the changing needs of the individuals, families, and communities we serve. Our integrated approach to programming looks at various aspects of an individual's needs and well-being and serves every member of a family as they build strength and stability for the future. In fy25, Neighborhood House served over 45,000 people.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 2023 to 2024, from $18M to $21M (+16%).
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 29% · 2019 22% · 2020 20% · 2021 49% · 2022 15% · 2023 22% · 2024 30% · 2025 26%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (60% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 22 funders to 58 funders, grant income rose $838k → $2.7M.
18 of 123 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% 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 HOUSE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 123 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 HOUSE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
52% 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 HOUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 56% · 2018 40% · 2019 29% · 2020 16% · 2021 21% · 2022 19% · 2023 40% — 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
46% of NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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 NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
