What New Hampshire Pro Bono Referral System does
Mission
The organization provides access to legal represenation for low-income families, individuals and seniors on matters ranging from protection against domestic violence to foreclosure, through the coordinated services of volunteer attorneys.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.
Program
The organization provides lawyer referral services. They are a statewide referral system for nh attorneys willing to represent, without fee, nh residents in need of, but unable to pay for, civil legal services.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $191k to $0 (−100%).
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 46% · 2018 48% · 2019 53% · 2020 52% · 2021 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $66k → $9k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.1M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest New Hampshire Bar Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money NEW HAMPSHIRE PRO BONO REFERRAL SYSTEM raised.

FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

NEW HAMPSHIRE PRO BONO REFERRAL SYSTEM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 79% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 HAMPSHIRE PRO BONO REFERRAL SYSTEM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2018 86% · 2019 70% · 2020 94% · 2021 63% · 2022 100% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
