Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $23M to $33M (+41%).
How it's funded, over time

From the IRS filings of NEW HORIZONS - SERVING INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders 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 HORIZONS - SERVING INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 44% · 2018 57% · 2019 58% · 2020 44% · 2021 73% · 2022 42% · 2023 40% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $290k 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.
