What Noelles Light Inc does
Mission
Noelle's Light delivers financial support to distressed families that are receiving treatment & care following a life-threatening fetal diagnosis. Our efforts are dedicated to uplifting families during their time of need.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Noelles Light Family Relief Grant Program supported 49 families nationwide through over $150,000 in need-based direct financial assistance grants to ease the burden of non-medical expenses that accumulate during their childs care. These grants cover costs such as housing and rent, utilities, transportation, living essentials, and funeral/memorial costs to families with a credible financial need. The program continues to expand in both reach and impact, meeting growing demand among families facing fetal and congenital diagnoses that require prolonged hospitalizations and intensive medical interventions.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $68k to $141k (+107%).
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.
52% of Noelles Light Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $366 → $27k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 57% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Noelles Light Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
57% 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 Noelles Light Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 69% · 2021 100% · 2022 31% · 2023 56% — 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
43% of Noelles Light Inc's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 44% 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
57% of Noelles Light Inc'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 $42k that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $55k 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.
