What Alliance of Hope for Suicide Loss Survivors does
Mission
To provide healing support for individuals who lost loved ones to suicide.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
online resourcesAOH continues to provide hope by hosting an informational website for suicide loss survivors and the professionals who serve them. Our website and blog contain vital information and resources to help those dealing with the traumatic and complex aftermath of suicide. We hosted more than 500 people on our website and blog site each day, providing information and support. Our monthly newsletters, which delivered blog articles directly to survivors' inboxes, were opened by 56,750 over the year. Over 188 personal Zoom consultations for new loss survivors were scheduled (and completed ) through the site, in 2022.
$126,693 spent33% of program spendingCONSULATION and online forums AOH completed another year in which it served thousands of survivors of suicide loss. Our online forum hosted more than 21,000 survivors. It is supervised by a mental health professional, a forum manager, and 60+ trained moderators and stewards. We had an average of 400 people logging on to our site, every day to read and comment on messages in our forum, with an average of 150 posts/per day. Our forum transcends time and distance, reaching those with little access to help. It has garnered a 5-star rating on review organization GreatNonprofits.

The campaign has appeared to impact the culture. Three years ago, when we launched this campaign, it went viral to over 80,000 people and seemed to open a valve in the community of people who felt so wounded and guilty that they had "failed to see the signs or prevent their loved one's suicide." The message that we launched is now appearing in social media streams of individuals, support groups, other organizations, and news media.

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 2019 to 2020, from $136k to $263k (+93%).
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: 2020 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of ALLIANCE OF HOPE FOR SUICIDE LOSS SURVIVORS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of ALLIANCE OF HOPE FOR SUICIDE LOSS SURVIVORS’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
90% 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 ALLIANCE OF HOPE FOR SUICIDE LOSS SURVIVORS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 94% · 2019 100% · 2020 82% · 2021 53% · 2022 66% · 2023 32% — 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
40% of ALLIANCE OF HOPE FOR SUICIDE LOSS SURVIVORS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 82% 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
72% of ALLIANCE OF HOPE FOR SUICIDE LOSS SURVIVORS'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 $125k that is directly attributable, 95% of it comes from funders outside Illinois, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $323k 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.
