$49,070 spentof which $14,652 as grants37% of program spendingThe corner shoppe - in a region with limited big box retailers, our thrift store stocks affordable home decor, clothes, toys and shoes for neighbors, many of whom lack transportation. Operated by dozens of volunteers and one part-time manager, we are able to sell home goods at affordable prices while also helping to underwrite our programs and ministries. The thrift store brings in the majority of revenue for the ministry's outreach efforts. We also accept donations of furniture and appliances that are stored offsite and sold through facebook marketplace. All our merchandise is donated and is sold at minimal cost to low income households in the community, as well as to shoppers who support our ministry efforts. We are in the process of creating a standalone retail space for furniture and appliances, which will allow us to offer even more of these larger home goods to the community at large. Completion of the furniture store is expected by march 2024. Volunteers donated 5,969 hours of time to this ministry.

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 $184k to $523k (+185%).

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 BRIDGE MINISTRY OF BURTON TEXAS.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
