What York Street Project does
Mission
York Street Project (ysp) clearly recognizes and understands that a person's life and family hang in the balance if they have no home, no education, and no childcare - and that these issues cannot be viewed in isolation. Founded in 1989, ysp simultaneously provides housing, childcare, counseling, case management and job & life skills training to nearly 400 individuals each year that allows them to begin their journey out of poverty toward a life of self-sufficiency.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $958k to $2.0M (+106%).
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 14% · 2018 21% · 2019 24% · 2020 30% · 2021 35% · 2022 38% · 2023 37% · 2024 33% · 2025 33%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $110k → $615k.
14 of 70 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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: $1.7M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest York Street Project Legacy Fund Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money YORK STREET PROJECT raised.
From the IRS filings of YORK STREET PROJECT’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 70 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
YORK STREET PROJECT has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 9% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
32% 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 YORK STREET PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 24% · 2018 25% · 2019 22% · 2020 17% · 2021 13% · 2022 11% · 2023 28% — growing more concentrated.
“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
50% of YORK STREET PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% 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
YORK STREET PROJECT draws 75% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 14 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $763k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
Government funding YORK STREET PROJECT receives
Grants and contracts to this organization from federal (USASpending) and state checkbooks, reconciled to its EIN. $12.7M on record.
- Department of Housing and Urban Development$11.2M

Federal grants vs contracts are distinguished; state line items keep their reported category. Matched by name + geography (the BMF), so coverage is partial and precision-first.
