What Newtown Macon Inc does
Mission
Invest time, resources, and money in local people and businesses to revitalize downtown macon.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Community development financial institution (cdfi): newtown macon, through its subsidiary newtown loans, llc, has been designated by the u.s. Department of the treasury as a cdfi. The cdfi facilitates the larger strategy of increasing downtown residents by funding loft development through the real estate loan fund and growing jobs by providing capital and mentoring to entrepreneurs. The real estate loan fund was established in partnership with the macon- bibb urban development authority and macon-bibb county. The bond funds are used in viable residential projects to close the gap between sources of funds (including owner equity, traditional financing and historic tax credits) and the actual cost to rehabilitate or build real estate developments downtown. At the end of the fiscal year, the cdfi had 14.1 million of loans in service on projects. In total, the cdfl's real estate loans produced projects with market values of 212.2 million, that are expected to produce 298 residential lofts and rehabilitate 44,309 square feet of underutilized buildings and create over 200,000 square feet of new construction. We offer a variety of support services for entrepreneurs and developers…

Newtown promotes a sense of place by managing first friday events and the macon christmas light extravaganza, beautifying the streets, promoting downtown events, and promoting the development of the ocmulgee heritage trail. Newtown macon also promotes downtown living through marketing and branding. Through these strategies, downtown macon is attracting new residents. We exceeded our goal of 85% occupancy with 91 % of the lofts occupied at the end of the fiscal year.

Newtown macon runs an advisory committee to plan and manage expansion and improvement of the trail system and raise private funds to enable these improvements through the oht construction fund. Once improvements are complete, newtown turns the improvements over to local government to run as public park space in perpetuity. During the fiscal year, the organization completed the design, fabrication and installation of a master signage program throughout the existing trail system. We also completed a bridge installation and trail extension project in riverside cemetery. The committee completed a new turnaround in the amerson north parking area to improve recreational and boating access to the ocmulgee river and trail network.
$181,427 spent$136,790 earned by the program5% of program spendingGrowing jobs and increasing residents: one of the most transformative ways newtown macon is changing downtown is by turning vacant, dilapidated buildings into beautiful, useful spaces. Newtown is growing jobs and increasing residents by protecting endangered buildings through the transitional property fund (tpf). This fund allows a building owner to donate or partially donate a building to newtown, and newtown matches the building to capable developers. The tpf transferred one property at 167 riverside drive for as part of a parcel assemblage for the future development of mercer university's school of medicine along riverside drive. One property previously held by the tpf remained in the development process during the fiscal year: 442 second street, which is currently available for sale to the appropriate developer. The tpf continued to independently own and rehabilitate 455 third st., a historic theatre. One previously- rehabilitated tpf project, a boutique hotel at 350 second street, was sold to another owner and remains in operation as a hotel. Previous tpf projects include: 596 cherry st. (clisby lofts), 536 third st. (lee lofts), 518-530 cherry st. (travis jean), 552-580…

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 $11M to $19M (+74%).
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 1% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 6% · 2021 4% · 2022 13% · 2023 17% · 2024 4% · 2025 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
61% of NEWTOWN MACON INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (60% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $341k → $1.1M.
4 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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: $1.2M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Robert W Woodruff Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money NEWTOWN MACON INC raised.

How long its funders stay
67% of NEWTOWN MACON INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% 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
63% of NEWTOWN MACON INC's grant income comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $64k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
