What Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria does

Mission

Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria is dedicated to repairing homes and strengthening communities, bringing together volunteers, community partners, and skilled professionals to ensure that low-income homeowners can live safely and with dignity in the homes they value.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Our cornerstone program, Safe and Healthy Homes, focuses on stabilizing 25 items that the National Center for Healthy Housing found to drastically improve living conditions for a home's residents, with a particular focus on low-income persons living in older and/or substandard housing who are disproportionately affected by home hazards. This program provides free housing improvements and ensures low-income individuals and families can remain stably housed and spend their limited income on health and food.

From community parks and gardens, to schools and homeless shelters, we partner with organizations to renovate these critical community resources. Because of the projects we've completed, children now have safe areas to play, neighbors have gardens in which to grow their own food, and whole neighborhoods have been revitalized.

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $72k → $917k.

12 of 38 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 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

Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

81% 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 Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
