Programs
Senior services: seniors are vital members of our community, and helping older adults age in place with dignity is the goal of senior services. We believe in empowering seniors to embrace this stage of life with grace and dignity while honoring their independence. Our mission is to enhance their quality of life by offering compassionate support as they navigate the challenges that often accompany aging. Programs offer direct housing support, service coordination, health access, financial literacy, nutritional aid, transportation, and reduce isolation through companionship and spiritual accompaniment. Volunteerism creates connections that enrich the lives of both our volunteers and the seniors they serve.

We believe in walking with families who are trying to build better lives for themselves, but who are balancing the complicated and interrelated challenges of poverty. Programs offer direct support through education, job training, nutritional aid, healthy living, parenting, empowerment, immigration services, small business incubation, and spiritual accompaniment. Through the our lady of guadalupe center (olgc) we work to reduce poverty in the rapidly growing hispanic population in central ohio. Volunteerism creates connections that enrich the lives of both our volunteers and the families they serve.

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 2019 to 2020, from $12M to $15M (+33%).
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: 2017 50% · 2018 54% · 2019 46% · 2020 45% · 2021 57% · 2022 50% · 2023 55% · 2024 48%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 16 funders to 34 funders, grant income rose $745k → $1.1M.
14 of 74 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 47% 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 CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 74 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
CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
75% 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 CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 34% · 2019 34% · 2020 24% · 2021 20% · 2022 27% · 2023 24% — 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
54% of CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
78% of CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES INC's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.8M 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.
