What Winter Growth Inc does
Mission
Winter growth's mission is to provide community based services for senior and disabled adults that support them in achieving their highest potential for independence, dignity, and life satisfaction.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
During the fiscal year ending in june 2025, winter growth ceased offering assisted transportation.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Day program: the organization provides a day program for older adults with disabilities. Services provided include registered nurse oversight, medication administration, six hours of therapeutic activities, age-appropriate meals and snacks, assisted transportation as needed, and social worker oversight and case management, as needed.
$3,004,886 spent$2,427,648 earned by the program74% of program spendingAssisted living: the organization provided assisted living and overnight respite care. Services provided include medication administration, assistance with activities of daily living as needed, age-appropriate meals and snacks, laundry and housekeeping services .
$1,040,828 spent$2,203,318 earned by the program26% of program spending
The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $4,045,714.
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 2024 to 2025, from $3.9M to $3.3M (−16%).
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 13% · 2022 10% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
10% of WINTER GROWTH INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $13k → $30k.
3 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 49% 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 WINTER GROWTH 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
WINTER GROWTH INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 WINTER GROWTH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 63% · 2019 100% · 2020 74% · 2021 94% · 2022 95% · 2023 99% — 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.
How long its funders stay
40% of WINTER GROWTH INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
100% of WINTER GROWTH INC's grant income comes from Maryland funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $57k 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.
