What The Henricus Foundation does
Mission
The mission of The Henricus Foundation is to provide educational, cultural and recreactional opportunities through the preservation, reconstruction and interpretation of the citie of henricus, a virginia historical site first settled in 1611. Particular emphasis is given to secondary school interpretation and education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In past years The Henricus Foundation was financially supported by and worked closely with the governments of chesterfield county and henrico county virginia. The foundation constructed, operated and interpreted the henricus historical site, focused on 17th century life in colonial virginia both from the perspective of english settlers and native americans - all on land owned by chesterfield county. The foundation developed a robust school tour program featuring costumed interepreters for both chesterfield and henrico county students as well as other nearby jurisdictons. The foundation also became a favored tourist destinaion for residents of virginia and nearby states.henrico county has opted out of the venture, leaving chesterfield county as the primary source of funding for the historical site. Chesterfield county has entered into an agreement with The Henricus Foundation, under which henricus assets other than cash and securites transfer to chesterfield county and become part of the countys parks and recreation department. The Henricus Foundation has relinquished operating responsibility for the site. A copy of the agreement between chesterfield county and The Henricus Foundation is included with this return.The Henricus Foundation is putting together a plan under which it expects to continue to operate, but with a new mission - to raise funds for chesterfield county for special programs and maintenance and funding for reconstruction of the historical site which, as…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $3.6M to $3.2M (−12%).
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 74% · 2022 76% · 2023 74% · 2024 74%. 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 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $31k → $41k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 THE HENRICUS FOUNDATION’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 HENRICUS FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 66% · 2021 91% · 2022 53% · 2023 61% — 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
60% of THE HENRICUS FOUNDATION'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
94% of THE HENRICUS FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $24k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
