$753,385 spent$323,630 earned by the program82% of program spendingVolunteers have been working with urban resources initiative to improve new haven's urban parks and other public lands by planting trees and removing invasive vegitation. In 2025, uri held 84 volunteer events to remove invasive vines, which pose a significant threat to urban forests. Vines can harm trees by covering foliage preventing photsynthesis: outcompeting trees for sunlight; pulling down branches; and encirling trunks causing mortality. Given the proliferation of invasive vines, and tree decline, uri has worked to increase public awareness and increase work with volunteers to tackle this problem 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $701k to $963k (+37%).
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 19% · 2018 4% · 2019 3% · 2020 2% · 2022 1% · 2023 0% · 2024 39% · 2025 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
96% 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 HAVEN - URBAN RESOURCES INITIATIVE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 61% · 2018 51% · 2019 55% · 2020 54% · 2021 57% · 2022 28% · 2023 43% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $258k 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.
