What Royall House Association does
Mission
To preserve, maintain and restore a historical site for public use and education. The association explores the meanings of freedom and independence before, during and since the american revolution, in context of a household of wealthy loyalists and enslaved africans.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The royall house and slave quarters continues to experience significant growth. In fy25, our museum and our director was featured in harper's bazaar. We partnered with the boston art triennial to host programs about black cultural production across the city of boston and medford. These include workshops such as weaving, sewing, tie and dye, and traditional hair braiding workshops. We have had over 150 people attend these workshops. In july, we hosted our annual reading of frederick douglass "what to the slave is the fourth of july? And it grew to 150 people during the fy25 year. Our summer season of 2024 had a really nice turnout with visitors coming to the museum consistently. We have continued to expand our reach and grow our influence through private tours and partnerships throughout massachusetts. We have had school groups visit from across the state, and we have served student groups from local programs in roxbury to national summer programs from long beach, california. Overall, attendance is diversifying, and the museum is growing in terms of our program and our local and national reputation.

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.
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 $1.1M to $1.7M (+59%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $25k → $177k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% 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 ROYALL HOUSE ASSOCIATION’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
ROYALL HOUSE ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
53% 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 ROYALL HOUSE ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 67% · 2022 62% · 2023 56% — 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
43% of ROYALL HOUSE ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 67% 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
100% of ROYALL HOUSE ASSOCIATION's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $269k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
