Program
Brevard Rescue Mission, Inc. dba New Life Mission (the Organization) is a not-for-profit corporation formed on February 15, 2008. The Organization's mission is to equip homeless women with children to transform their families for generations in a Christ-centered environment. Through education, accountability, and goal advancement, their program empowers families to become self-sufficient and break the cycle of homelessness. The facilities include four campuses, all located in Brevard County, Florida. Our newest campus, New Life Village, opened in 2022 and is located on 25 acres at the end of Croton Road in Melbourne, FL. New Life Village is a gated and secure property with two residential buildings built for group-style living, four quad apartments with shared kitchens, and an administrative building with offices, meeting and dining spaces. New Life Village provides stable housing for more families when they first enter the program and includes the Kids Academy childcare center, on-site case management, mental health counseling, financial coaching, life skill training, and Bible-based studies.

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 2020 to 2021, from $2.5M to $5.3M (+112%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $77k → $267k.
11 of 36 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 64% 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 Brevard Rescue Mission Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 36 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
Brevard Rescue Mission Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
78% 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 Brevard Rescue Mission Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 26% · 2019 15% · 2020 21% · 2021 27% · 2022 19% · 2023 28% — 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
39% of Brevard Rescue Mission Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 72% 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
64% of Brevard Rescue Mission 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 $601k that is directly attributable, 88% of it comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
