01What it does

What Answered Prayers Cross Inc does

Mission

Answered Prayers Cross is a full circle ministry created by women for women and their families. The goal of Answered Prayers Cross is threefold: to provide emotional support through creating community, to deepen faith through spiritual connection, educate and empower women through the Sewn Together program.

As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.

Program

Answered Prayers Project is a art program developed to create conversations between women in our community. We live in an age of technology where all our friends are on our phones. We create a space where women can come together and share life's journey by creating ceramic crosses at regular monthly programs in our studio as well as special engagements throughout the community. These crosses are then sent all over the world.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2020: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $1k → $10k.

4 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 77% 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 ANSWERED PRAYERS CROSS 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

ANSWERED PRAYERS CROSS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 ANSWERED PRAYERS CROSS INC.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 56% · 2020 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.

Where its funders are

77% of ANSWERED PRAYERS CROSS INC'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 $10k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Florida funders.

FL

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $34k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
