What New Orleans Habitat for Humanity does
Mission
"to responsibly build communities where families can thrive, in homes they can afford". Noahh makes home ownership possible by serving as both the builder and lender, providing zero percent interest loans to low income buyers who typically would not qualify (cont'd on sch. O) for commercial products.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Noahh's primary program is in the construction of new homes with the participation of low to moderate income (80-120% ami) future home buyers, volunteers and staff. In partnership with the city of new orleans and the new orleans redevelopment authority, habitat also builds and sells homes to low-to moderate income buyers (up to 120% ami) that are financed through local financial institutions. Noahh also runs an active home repair program that makes repairs to low income, elderly or disabled homeowners who lack the means to undertake needed repairs themselves.15 homes were sold, and 8 homes were under construction at june 30, 2025.

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 2019 to 2020, from $23M to $34M (+44%).
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: 2020 3% · 2021 11% · 2022 5% · 2023 1% · 2024 3% · 2025 44%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 21 funders, grant income rose $195k → $1.2M.
14 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 55% 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: $113k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Noahh So Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money NEW ORLEANS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY raised.
From the IRS filings of NEW ORLEANS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 funders by total. 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
84% 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 ORLEANS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 78% · 2018 55% · 2019 39% · 2020 40% · 2021 38% · 2022 79% · 2023 40% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
46% of NEW ORLEANS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
55% of NEW ORLEANS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $4.4M that is directly attributable, 86% of it comes from funders outside Louisiana, across 14 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
