What Sustainable Woodstock Inc does

Programs
Food Security-Sustainable Woodstock addresses the critical need for sustenance as the root of sustainability for individuals, families and communities by coordinating two community gardens at Billings Farm and King Farm (VT Land Trust), where ~30 families garden annually. We grow hundreds of pounds for the Woodstock Community Food Shelf and Upper Valley Haven at these community gardens. Sustainable Woodstock also distributes Grow Your Own Garden kits free of charge to individuals and families who want to produce their own food. These effors are collaborative with other organizations addressing critical needs for food and nutrition, including Woodstock Community Food Shelf, Reading-West Windsor Food Shelf, Hartland Food Shelf, and Upper Valley Haven.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2018 to 2019, from $112k to $231k (+106%).
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 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of Sustainable Woodstock Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $19k → $155k.
8 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% 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 Sustainable Woodstock 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
Sustainable Woodstock Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
65% 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 Sustainable Woodstock Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 99% · 2018 53% · 2019 49% · 2020 30% · 2021 24% · 2022 31% · 2023 37% — 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 Sustainable Woodstock Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
62% of Sustainable Woodstock 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 $232k that is directly attributable, 77% of it comes from funders outside Vermont, across 11 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $380k 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.
