01What it does

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.

Programs

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).

  1. Basic needs: we pride ourselves on our ability to work with all members of a family and meet each individual where they are. We offer an integrated approach that helps families with basic needs so they can build solid foundations for the future. Over the last four years, the number of families we serve annually has increased by 25%. Over the same period, total basic needs services delivered to families increased by 52%, reflecting deeper and more sustained engagement. Family programs meet the basic needs of each person in a family. They include two food markets and year-round fresh produce distributions; two family centers; home visits for families with school-aged children; and housing stability programs.food support: our two st. Paul food markets at the wellstone center and at montreal avenue we provide nutritious and healthy food options to people facing food insecurity. 25,641 individuals were served at our food markets and 1,087,792 pounds of food was distributed.housing services: our housing stability program prevents evictions and homelessness through emergency financial assistance, family case management, and working collaboratively with county and community partners to…

  2. Youth & children: at Neighborhood House, we believe in the power of education to lift each of us up so that we establish strong foundations to excel in the future. Our inclusive and culturally responsive educational programs for youth are built on this premise. Activities are designed to address the barriers immigrant and under-resourced families face in preparing their children for school. Youth and early childhood programming includes small steps child care, skills for school kindergarten readiness, youth literacy, summer sunrise camp, and out-of-school youth programs.youth programs: we provide a safe place for young people to develop skills, confidence, mentoring, and peer relationships through a variety of no-cost out of school and evening programs with supportive mentors.youth literacy program: for young people in grades k through 12 who need help with reading comprehension, fluency and writing skills. We know that each child learns differently, and our goal is to narrow the achievement gap for st. Paul and not let children fall through the cracks of the education system. 83% achieved a level gain in reading.summer sunrise: our youth summer camp brings young people together…

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.

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.

03Who funds it

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.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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.

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.
