What 516 Now Inc does
Mission
To build holy, prosperous, and sustainable communities throughout the world by working together with people in our target communities to create sustainable projects that glorify god.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
We also answered the call of matthew 5:16 to improve the quality of life for people in need by working together with our target communites sponsoring educational initiatives in each of the countries we work in. We train single mothers in sewing and cosmetology. In nicaragua we sponsor pastoral conferences providing training in theology, biblical study, church planting and growth, family care and counseling so that pastors are able to fulfill their calling and more effectively operate their church. These local churches are the central point of the other work that 516now does in the surrounding community.
$96,436 spent$80,585 earned by the program69% of program spendingWe answered the call of matthew 5:16 to improve the quality of life for people in need by working together with our target communites by continuing a very successful ssk program in el salvador, palacaguina and diriamba nicaragua serving over 200 children. The sponsorships pay for uniforms, shoes, backpacks and school supplies.
$22,565 spent$22,473 earned by the program16% of program spendingWe also answered the call of matthew 5:16 to improve the quality of life for people in need by working together with our target communites by contuing support through our micro-finance programs. We operate these programs in el savador, the dominican republic and belize. El salvador micro loans are given to women who have graduated training programs in cosmetology or sewing to help them open and operate a small business with their trade. In belize, loans are made to people in the community to help with farming, small business, retail stores. In the dr, loans are made through local haitian churches to pastors so they have a means of support. Jobs in the dr are difficult to find, the micro loans allows them to buy plants to begin a small farm, livestock, or items to resell.

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 $34k to $85k (+152%).
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.
100% of 516 NOW INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% 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.

Leadership and staff
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.

2 of 4 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 516 NOW 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
516 NOW INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
49% 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 516 NOW INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 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
516 NOW INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside South Carolina, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
