What Radnor A Better Chance Inc does
Mission
To increase substantially the number of well educated young people of color who are capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in American society.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Each year, Radnor ABC supports up to ten scholars while they attend Radnor High School. During the school year, the scholars live away from their families and reside in two houses on the same property in Wayne, PA with supervision by a resident director team and resident tutors. Although the Radnor Township School District waives tuition for these students, Radnor ABC still spends approximately $30,000 a year per student. This cost covers numerous expenses, including, but not limited to: food, including weekend food allowance; school supplies; team bonding events; extracurricular activity fees; SAT/ACT registration, study books and preparation classes; travel home for two breaks; compensation for our Executive Director, Assistant Resident Director, Resident Tutors, Assistant Program Manager, and a weekday cook; and house utilities, supplies, maintenance, repairs, and improvements. Radnor ABC relies completely on donations and grants from generous individuals and organizations to maintain its budget.

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 2021 to 2022, from $614k to $715k (+16%).
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 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of Radnor A Better Chance Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $21k → $112k.

From the IRS filings of Radnor A Better Chance 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
Radnor A Better Chance Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
77% 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 Radnor A Better Chance Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 57% · 2018 56% · 2019 45% · 2020 53% · 2021 45% · 2022 45% · 2023 38% — 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
60% of Radnor A Better Chance Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
59% of Radnor A Better Chance 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 $282k that is directly attributable, 66% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $400k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.

Radnor A Better Chance Inc holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 13,062 human services nonprofits its size.
