What Breath of Life Adult Day Service does
Mission
To provide respite care and activities for about 45 adults including activities, games, singing and special events. To provide meals and snacks to participants to enhance the physical and social needs of the participants. To provide bathing services as requested by the participants. To provide transportation to/from the facility to enable participants to be involved more often.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
To provide transportation to and from the facility. Many participants have no other means to come to the facility so by providing this transportation we are able to help the participants to be involved more often. Some are able to be involved solely because we provide their transportation.
$18,155 spent7% of program spendingTo provide daily lunch to all participants who are involved with the program over the lunch period. This is an integral part of the program as it meets the physical needs of the participants as well as being a great avenue for interaction between the participants. This expense also includes am/pm snacks provided to the participants

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $226k to $325k (+43%).
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 16% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
4% of BREATH OF LIFE ADULT DAY SERVICE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

6 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 55% 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 BREATH OF LIFE ADULT DAY SERVICE’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
BREATH OF LIFE ADULT DAY SERVICE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
86% 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 BREATH OF LIFE ADULT DAY SERVICE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 43% · 2018 100% · 2019 64% · 2020 78% · 2021 48% · 2022 32% · 2023 66% — 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
60% of BREATH OF LIFE ADULT DAY SERVICE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
55% of BREATH OF LIFE ADULT DAY SERVICE'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 $99k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $123k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
