What New York City Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Avp provides direct services to survivors of lgbtq and hiv-affected survivors of all kinds of violence with crisis intervention, safety planning, counseling, advocacy, economic empowerment and legal services, as well as information and referrals to organizations and institutions that provide services and resources outside the scope of avp's services.

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 $2.2M to $4.8M (+115%).
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 54% · 2018 52% · 2019 74% · 2020 44% · 2021 69% · 2022 62% · 2023 70% · 2024 73% · 2025 94%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
49% 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 YORK CITY GAY AND LESBIAN ANTI-VIOLENCE PROJECT.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
