What New Brunswick Tomorrow does
Mission
Through a shared value of community and partnership, we bring diverse interest to the table to inspire people and mobilize resources to strengthen our community. Working side-by-side with committed partners, we focus on setting goals, turning goals into plans, and plans into action, ultimately helping residents improve their quality of life. To do this work, we foster partnerships with institutions and community organizations that promote upward economic mobility, self-sufficiency and personal dignity for all. Nbt serves as a catalyst in developing and supporting solutions that strengthen our community by: 1) identifing social needs, driven by both data and the community's insights; 2) bringing people and resources together, inspiring action and accountability; 3) collaboratively devising solutions, leading social change citywide; and, 4) building capacity to maintain meaningful community impact. To realize this, nbt utilizes task forces as vehicles for convening partners committed to
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
New Brunswick Tomorrow convenes all youth stakeholders in the city of new brunswick, new jersey, to identify issues that affect our city's youth and develop solutions. The o-to-21 task force includes the bobadilla summer soccer academy, a 5-week summer camp for youth, ages 7-15. The camp focuses on strengthening soccer skills of the participants, and has an emphasis of community wellness, with fitness activities intensifying during the latter half of the summer. While campers walk away with memories of a fun summer, we see deeper growth in skills they achieved in discipline, commitment, teamwork, fitness, and communication. In 2024, we had over 140 students participate daily and employed 12 high school students. Additionally, we provided financial support for higher education through a partnership with new brunswick education foundation to implement training and leadership development workshops for high school avid students, focused on college and career pathways. A key initiative of this exciting partnership are 11 annual scholarships that nbt sponsors through generous donations for the nbef scholarship program.

Accordingly, we coordinated local vaccine and testing providers to provide continued awareness. Nbt organized and promoted daily static and/or pop-up clinics for residents and facilitated monthly vaccine clinics, providing technical support to all pop-up clinics throughout the city. As a result, vaccines were administered citywide. Traditional, face-to-face, community outreach is critical in reaching our residents, especially for the dissemination of health information and resources. Throughout the year, the health team attended over 50 health-outreach events, and engaged in several door knocking campaigns, reaching over 2000 residents. Digital communication plays a large role in reaching our target audience, consistently increasing in followers, engagement, and reach (with thousands of views and unique impressions) throughout the year. Lastly, through our lead remediation and abatement program (lrap), we offered lead testing and assessments for both landlords and tenants to prevent lead poisoning caused by deteriorating paint and other hazards.

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 $3.2M to $5.3M (+66%).
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.

How long its funders stay
33% of New Brunswick Tomorrow's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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 New Brunswick Tomorrow's grant income comes from New Jersey funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
