Programs
Wellness - puentes' wellness programs support community members in maintaining social, physical and mental well-being. Through our medical- legal partnership, attorneys help families access the legal tools they need to lead stable and healthy lives. Via our promotora program, a dedicated group of community members serve as community health workers to increase our reach into the community and to tackle important health issues outside the clinic. Our behavioral health services aim to provide the community with evidence-based approaches to empowerment and social issues. Our art and culture initiatives support cultural exploration and revitalization through various forms of art, focusing on weekly programming and long-term, participatory art projects that build community, inspire reflection, and provide healing and cultural connection for children and adults alike. Finally, our food access programs support community members who are experiencing food insecurity.

The mission of puentes hacia el futuro is to improve the educational achievement of children in the south philadelphia latino immigrant community, in order to improve long-term health outcomes, as well as to provide support in the context of extremely limited educational resources. By listening closely to the needs and wishes of community stakeholders, we deliver high impact, culturally sensitive educational enrichment programs. As an official community partner of southwark school in south philadelphia, we provide five programs to this student population: after school tutoring and mentorship, kindergarten in-class support, an adolescent empowerment group, a computer coding program, and a summer literacy enrichment camp.

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 2019 to 2020, from $1.3M to $2.4M (+81%).
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 3% · 2021 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of PUENTES DE SALUD’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 22 funders, grant income rose $79k → $915k.
7 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 PUENTES DE SALUD’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 funders by total. 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
PUENTES DE SALUD has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% 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
43% 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 PUENTES DE SALUD.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 88% · 2018 80% · 2019 26% · 2020 21% · 2021 37% · 2022 24% · 2023 29% — 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
32% of PUENTES DE SALUD's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
74% of PUENTES DE SALUD's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $810k 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.
