What C A R E dba The John 3 16 Center does
Mission
The organization's mission is: We are guided by our Christian faith to address the impact of poverty and trauma on families with children in Halifax, Northampton, and Warren counties. We do this through advocacy, education, empowerment, and community collaboration.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Eradicating Generational Poverty: In order to provide immediate assistance to individuals and families in poverty, we provided food boxes for 270 families (944 individuals); for each of these families, we include an intake that gives us information regarding the situation the family is in and resources they are currently accessing so we can ensure they are connected to concrete resources and support. Additionally, we provided school supplies for 650 students, distributed to the five local school systems, to ensure they had the tools they needed to succeed in school. 46,035 meals and snacks were served to supplement food accessible at home or school and to reduce hunger. We also partnered with a local church and Halifax Community College to package 24,000 meals that were distributed to families through 135 organizations in the communities we serve. Taking care of the basic need for food additionally empowers children and families to be able to focus on learning and longer-term needs. 5,532 children had their needs met for Christmas and 6,555 individuals received hygiene supplies. Through our thrift-based facility, the John 3:16 Community Resource Center, we met needs for clothing…

Twenty-two students participated in Wired for Success afterschool, receiving educational support, daily meals and snacks, and mentoring. 131 children were registered for Camp J316, who participated over the course of 6 weeks of camp. Camp J316 offered educational and socio-emotional skill building, character development, and recreation at the lake and in the community. Thirteen adults participated in parenting conferences, which included some information on child development. Eleven adults participated in CPR and First Aid training. We provided school supply support for a back-to-school event in Warrenton, partnering with Mag's Marketplace; through this event and our own distributions, we served 650 students. Through our new Roanoke Valley Afterschool Collaborative, we hosted 4 afterschool collaborative events: one on experience-based fundraising events, a two-session grant writing workshop, and a Best of the Valley awards event to recognize programs serving students in our area. Seven collaborative members, in addition to three John 3:16 Center staff, attended the…

At least 271 individuals engaged in recreational activities through our programs and facilities and we began construction to add pickleball and tennis courts. Additionally, we regularly met both in person and virtually with community organizations and worked together to meet significant needs that one organization alone could not address. 318 referrals were sent to other organizations with which we coordinate for services we do not provide. Our staff team also attended twenty community events and networking opportunities in order to support our connections within our region and beyond.

Additionally, four staff completed training in the Incredible Years in order to provide another form of parenting education and support that better meets the needs of some parents. 6 people received Connections Matter training in-person; this curriculum provides information on the effects of childhood trauma on brain development as well as the mitigating effects of resilience and positive connections to better prepare community members to respond appropriately to trauma. This is demonstrated to reduce the effects of trauma and the incidence of adverse childhood experiences. Training was provided to 28 staff, board members, and volunteers on recognizing and responding to child abuse and neglect and/or preventing child sexual abuse. We planted three "pinwheel gardens" in recognition of child abuse prevention month in April--one at each of our primary facilities and a community garden. The community gardens included 512 pinwheels to draw attention to the number of…

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 2017 to 2018, from $1.0M to $2.0M (+95%).
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: 2018 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of C A R E dba The John 3 16 Center’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (93% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $500 → $148k.
10 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 C A R E dba The John 3 16 Center’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 21 of 22 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.

C A R E dba The John 3 16 Center leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 C A R E dba The John 3 16 Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 68% · 2019 100% · 2020 66% · 2021 35% · 2022 36% · 2023 51% — 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
30% of C A R E dba The John 3 16 Center's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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 C A R E dba The John 3 16 Center'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 $525k that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $655k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
