What Upper Valley Rowing Foundation does
Mission
The mission of Upper Valley Rowing Foundation (uvrf) is to create a community for the sport of rowing by offering a wide variety of opportunities for area residents to row on the connecticut river. By making available public, rowing-appropriate access to the connecticut river, instructional programs, competitive opportunities, and education forums about the sport, uvrf will serve as an organization that provides diverse benefits to the region as a whole.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Uvrf offers spring and fall racing programs to area students in grades 7-12 regardless of ability to pay. The Upper Valley Rowing Foundation spring youth program is offered, from mid-march to june, to all students who attend schools without a rowing program.

Any upper valley high school rower is welcome to join, with generous financial assistance available.

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 2021 to 2022, from $499k to $615k (+23%).
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.
58% of UPPER VALLEY ROWING FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $15k → $41k.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
UPPER VALLEY ROWING FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 UPPER VALLEY ROWING FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
100% of UPPER VALLEY ROWING FOUNDATION'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 $400 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Hampshire, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $277k 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.
