Programs
Sacred ballots is a non-partisan program focused on strengthening faith-based democracy protection and enhancing voter accessibility. The initiative partnered with county officials to establish new faith centers as accessible polling locations in the greater houston area. A key focus is the recruitment and training of poll chaplains to serve as friendly, non-partisan presences at these locations to alleviate anxiety for voters. The program also provides training related to the creation of democracy organizing committees to maximize outreach. Expenditures are dedicated to training materials, logistical support for the new faith-based polling sites, and resources for the poll chaplaincy program.
$90,500 spent45% of program spendingHandle with care is a children's mental-health related program that supports child victims in the gulf coast and central texas by ensuring law enforcement discreetly notifies school liasons when a student is involved in a traumatic incident. Educators can then provide essential passive intervention, such as extra time for assignments, without knowing the incident's details. The program's expansion is managed by a dedicated coordinator who brings together interfaith committees to support implementations and ensure collaboration among parents, educators, and law enforcement. Expenditures for the coordinator, training, and technology are vital for achieving the goal of onboarding participating agencies.we implemented hwc in 1 school district. We provide training to law enforcement and educators on the program, and we bring together local faith leaders to provide support for both law enforcement and isds.

The costs also covered the after-action interfaith potluck and awards ceremony that celebrates neighborly achievement. The high visibility and impact of this event ensure it remains a powerful mechanism for securing substantial support.we brought together multiple faith communities to raise food for: - humble area assistance ministries - northwest assistance ministries - fairhaven food pantry - east fort bend human need ministry - interfaith caring ministries

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2023 to 2024, from $16k to $179k (+1019%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
51% 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 BRIDGES ACROSS TEXAS INC.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
