What Portside New York Inc does
Mission
Portside newyork's mission is to create a model for nyc's waterfront future via advocacy and direct service. We demonstrate how the harbor can provide jobs, green freight movement, education, culture, and recreation - and how to center maritime in nyc waterfront development. Our long-standing goal is to create a portside campus that serves the public and the working waterfront, a place larger than our historic ship mary a. Whalen.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Once again, our tanker mary a. Whalen was the most publicly-accessible historic ship in nyc with tankertime access to the main deck and children's education cabin offered most days of the year. The audience for our monthly may through october community potluck bbq on the ship grew in numbers and the diversity of the attendees did too. This event brings adults and families together and provides experiential learning about our historic ship and port context in a welcoming atmosphere. We grew our visiting vessel program to include a new, deep partnership with the historic sloop clearwater which teaches ecology, history, and is also a training vessel. This is a major boost to local offerings as there are no educational vessels sailing out of anywhere near here. This partnership is ongoing. We promoted sails to schools and the community, narrated a talk during one public sail, and collaborated to create a multimedia film screening using our ship and the clearwater. 721 went on 17 public sails, 360 students went on 10 school field trips, 132 sailed on 4 private charters.portside's created new public, in-person, cultural programs to find ways to engage the community, adding "books ahoy"…

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 2023 to 2024, from $81k to $36k (−56%).

Who funds it, year by year

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 PORTSIDE NEW YORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 73% · 2023 91% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $26k 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.
