What Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance Inc does
Mission
Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance exists to provide Pittsford and neighboring communities with patient-centered care and consultation, education, prevention programs, and partnerships to maintain quality of health and life.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance, Inc. was requested for 4,441 responses, provided emergency medical services (including basic and advanced life support services) to 2,942 patients during the fiscal year, and transported 2,380 patients for continued medical care. Not every response results in contact with a patient, and not all contacts result in transport, which is consistent with industry norms.(Continued on Schedule O)We recognize variable demand for service, driven in part by demand for mutual-aid service as a result of systemic workforce shortages and fiscal challenges. Inadequate reimbursement for services, including disallowed and non-payments for responses we are statutorily obligated to provide, antiquated fee-schedules for Medicare and Medicaid, and arbitrary payment for service by commercial and private insurers continue to underfund and destabilize EMS service delivery. We anticipate fiscal constraints will continue to affect the EMS workforce, and erode sustainability of capital and operating programs. We anticipate a sustained period of volatility in healthcare demand, including in EMS service delivery.In coordination with our EMS partners, PVA continues to pursue…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2023 to 2024, from $2.1M to $2.2M (+7%).
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 13% · 2023 2% · 2024 12% · 2025 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
18% of Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $10k → $187k.
3 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 92% 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 Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance Inc’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
Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% 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 Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 79% · 2020 90% · 2021 90% · 2022 93% · 2023 94% — 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
33% of Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
92% of Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance 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 $25k that is directly attributable, 75% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $279k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
