Programs
We are pleased to report that we served a record 285 women and their children in 2023 who are experiencing homelessness. The cases are more complex than ever before that we are seeing with fentanyl causing havoc with families while renting costs have exploded. Some women that come to us are fleeing unsafe living situations because of their partners; 85% are struggling with some kind of addiction themselves and most have pending cases with the department of children, youth and families. Compounding these factors are escalating costs for basic needs such as food.
$266,905 spent$521,670 earned by the program100% of program spendingWe are thrilled to report that monique (mo) patterson participated in a 16-week program at the university of washington tacoma to become a trainer and provider of an intensive parenting class. She will be able to offer the program to next chapter mothers (after she completes an additional ten weeks of intensive training). All mothers with children in either foster care or kinship care are required to participate in this program. However, there are not many providers (and none at homeless shelters) offering this rigorous training. Mo reports the training is targeted to mothers of children 0 to 3 years of age in order to teach mothers to observe cues in very young children that will help the mothers better understand their children's behavior. The training is intended to teach and show mothers how not to get overwhelmed; and provides them with the insights to praise their children when they do well, and comfort their young ones when they need empathy. Next chapter's preference is to reunite mothers with their children whenever safe to do so. Once mo (and later, tiffany) is trained, they will receive a stipend of $5,000 to $8,000 which will help support next chapter's work allowing…
We are proud of our partnership with the institute for black justice (ibj). Together, we are hosting a legal clinic sometime this spring or early summer for up to 200 women (that's our cap). The point of this clinic is to obtain free legal services for our women with tickets, pending charges, issues of parenting with their children and to help clear up their criminal records which are often barriers to securing employment and safe housing.
The 3 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $266,905.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $98k to $2.6M (+2570%).
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: 2021 31% · 2022 14% · 2023 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of NEXT CHAPTER FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (37% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $35k → $224k.
6 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of NEXT CHAPTER FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.
How concentrated its funding is
NEXT CHAPTER FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
33% 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 NEXT CHAPTER FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 43% · 2022 76% · 2023 33% — 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.
Where its funders are
84% of NEXT CHAPTER FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $142k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
NEXT CHAPTER FOUNDATION has grown faster than three-quarters of the 7,804 housing & shelter nonprofits its size.
