What Repurpose Savannah Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to re-purpose historic building materials, keep them out of landfills and decrease the enviromental impact caused by demolition. We accomplish this by deconstructing historic buildings slated for demolition, re-using the reclaimed materials in innovative ways and creating opportunities for education, job training, and supporting local artisans, deconstruction is the systematic disassembly of a structure, in the opposite order it was constructed, to salvage historic material. Using deconstruction techniques, fewer toxins are released into the air, lessmaterial is dumped in landfills and our neighborhoods are healthier and safer. Re:purpose savannah has a positive impact on our local and global enviroment by reducing the harmful effects of demolition on the health of our neighborhood and by diverting large quantities of "waste" from the landfill. Transforming it into community resources. We also provide opportunities for women to gain skills and experience for careers in c

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 $66k to $133k (+100%).
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: 2022 3% · 2024 1% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
12% of REPURPOSE SAVANNAH INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

How concentrated its funding is
REPURPOSE SAVANNAH INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
35% 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 REPURPOSE SAVANNAH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 74% · 2021 49% · 2022 85% · 2023 67% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43k 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.
