What Sarah Heinz House Association does
Mission
The Sarah Heinz House Association serves as a community resource, offering local adults and youth educational, social, and health and fitness opportunities. Our youth programs are grounded in principles of behavioral guidance that promote the overall development of our members.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Our healthy choices for life (hcfl) programs provide health and fitness opportunities to area youth and adults. Children engage in a variety of physical activities that promote healthy habits. Through a combination of emotional wellness, sports leagues, skill development clinics, personal fitness, swimming, and non-competitive group activities, sarah heinz house enables each child to find ways to remain active, adopt habits, and acquire knowledge that supports lifelong wellness. The goal of these experiences is to prepare youth with the knowledge and discipline they need to make healthy choices throughout their lives. For some children, this program component also reduces the risk of food insecurity and offers an opportunity to share meals with friends and staff, rather than eating alone at home (or not eating at all).

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 $13M to $16M (+21%).
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: 2017 9% · 2018 15% · 2019 30% · 2020 8% · 2021 43% · 2022 27% · 2023 14% · 2024 11% · 2025 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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
50% of SARAH HEINZ HOUSE ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $597k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
