01What it does

What The Bergen-Passaic Arc Foundation Inc does

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. To support the programs and services of the arc of bergen and passaic counties through assistance with fundraising activities. The foundation, through its board and fundraising consultant spearhead fundraising initiatives and campaigns to raise funds to benefit the arc of bergen and passaic counties. Funds raised, often go directly to the arc of bergen and passaic counties rather than first to the foundation to be then granted to the arc of bergen and passaic counties. This year was the continuation of the project to raise funds for the renovation of a kitchen in an arc residential program and to support other arc programs and direct mail campaigns to assist with the operation of the programs and services of the arc of bergen and passaic counties.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.

02The organization over time

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $25k → $66k.

3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $856k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Arc of Bergen and Passaic Counties Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE BERGEN-PASSAIC ARC FOUNDATION INC raised.

From the IRS filings of THE BERGEN-PASSAIC ARC FOUNDATION 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

THE BERGEN-PASSAIC ARC FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% 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

94% 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 THE BERGEN-PASSAIC ARC FOUNDATION INC.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 97% · 2022 98% · 2023 76% — diversifying over time.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
