01What it does

What New City Parks Inc does

Mission

New city parks (ncp) works with small cities and their underserved communities (cont. On sch. O) to create parks where they are most needed, bringing greater health and happiness through play, exercise, and contact with nature, and building environmental and community resilience. Ncp addresses the lack of capacity in under-resourced cities in developing high quality outdoor recreation opportunities and amenities for park-deprived residents. The hands-on model gets parks on the ground while also leaving behind new systems in cities to advance more parks, secure future park funding, and model park programming and maintenance solutions.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

6 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 NEW CITY PARKS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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

NEW CITY PARKS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

75% 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 NEW CITY PARKS INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $687k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
