What Uncornered Inc does
Mission
Uncornered's mission is to unlock the potential of core influencers - active and former gang-involved individuals- as a means to change communities and build peaceful, thriving cities. Uncornered utilizes an innovative approach to transform urban communities into violence-free zones by using the power of core influencers to unlock the potential of individuals and cities. Core influencers are both active and former gang-involved leaders who have the proximity and credibility to impact violence in their communities. The uncornered vision is to end community violence and tap into the power and possibility of under-resourced neighborhoods in cities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The goal of uncornered is to create thriving communities by reaching this small subset of the population who have been left out of opportunities to build economic security and healthy lives. This goal will be achieved first by reducing street violence, building pathways toward education and employment, and ensuring stability for core influencers and their families.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $2.2M to $3.5M (+54%).
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 38% · 2018 37% · 2019 14% · 2020 26% · 2021 25% · 2022 81% · 2023 51% · 2024 45% · 2025 46%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of UNCORNERED INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 27 funders, grant income rose $1.6M → $1.7M.
12 of 83 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% 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 UNCORNERED INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 83 funders by total. 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
UNCORNERED INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
54% 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 UNCORNERED INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 24% · 2018 39% · 2019 35% · 2020 21% · 2021 30% · 2022 15% · 2023 12% — 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
38% of UNCORNERED INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
88% of UNCORNERED INC's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
