Programs
In 2024, necs' community programs impacted the lives of 525 children, youth, and 1,403 other community members through active participation in programs and attendance at performances. Across 69 community offerings, necs inspired participants to explore creativity, collaborate with others, and strengthen connections to themselves, their peers, and their wider community. Summer was filled with joy as we welcomed over 30 enthusiastic students to our new downtown peekskill location, the heart of local activities. For six weeks, laughter and adventure filled the air as students roasted s'mores, played games, hiked, swam, gardened, and explored the water through paddleboarding and kayaking. Divided into explorers (k-2nd grade), discoverers (3rd-5th grade), and pathfinders (middle school), students embraced new challenges every day. This year's special highlight was our guest nutritionist, who taught the importance of healthy eating and guided students in preparing meals for seniors at the peekskill nutrition center. Over spring break, our youth embarked on a transformative journey to alabama and atlanta, reaffirming the vital role of truth-telling in teaching youth about justice. Five…

Necs deeply values the opportunity to help children thrive.
$10,074 spent2% of program spendingWe proudly joined the city of peekskill in celebrating juneteenth with a parade, community gathering, and educational booths. To close our spring season, our community came together at the hudson valley museum of contemporary art for a vibrant celebration. In may, necs hosted the just girls - wellness summit, a transformative one-day event with several local girls' organizations, designed to inspire, educate, and empower young girls. Held at blue mountain reserve, 15 girls formed an overnight community in a cozy lodge, engaging in jewelry-making, a spa night, and meaningful discussions on self-care, healthy relationships, racism, and domestic violence. A local photographer guided them in using self-portraits to build self-esteem. Both participants and facilitators joyfully felt the summit's impact, sparking excitement for next year and drawing new girls to our girls empowered program. Peekskill open studios weekend gave us the opportunity to offer a sneak peek at our new space, featuring stunning art displays by our students and teaching artists. It was an exciting glimpse into the future possibilities for our community's creative home. In july, our students embraced the power of…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $553k to $1.8M (+217%).
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.

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.

Where its funders are
NEW ERA CREATIVE SPACE INC draws 79% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
