What Clearwater Free Clinic Inc does
Mission
To provide low-income uninsured families access to care for acute and chronic medical issues by means of volunteerism, community financial support and community partnerships.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Since 1977 the Clearwater Free Clinic (CFC) has provided low-income uninsured families access to care for acute and chronic medical issues by means of volunteerism, community financial support and community partnerships. The clinic, a volunteer driven non-profit, non-government medical facility, provides primary health care and behavioral health services at no cost to those who do not qualify for government assistance and cannot afford private medical care. Those who qualify financially and live in mid or upper Pinellas County are eligible for Clinic services which include but are not limited to: medical office visits, behavioral health assessments and counseling, medications, lab work, x-rays, specialty referrals, diabetic counseling, patient education and hospital based procedures. Without the assistance of the Clearwater Free Clinic, local uninsured families would look to our local emergency departments for non-emergent care, at a great cost to themselves and the hospitals.

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 2024 to 2025, from $9.1M to $12M (+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 10% · 2021 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of Clearwater Free Clinic Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 11 funders to 26 funders, grant income rose $566k → $2.2M.
8 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 Clearwater Free Clinic Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 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
Clearwater Free Clinic Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 62%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
62% 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 Clearwater Free Clinic Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 43% · 2018 33% · 2019 37% · 2020 28% · 2021 25% · 2022 24% · 2023 61% — growing more concentrated.
“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
64% of Clearwater Free Clinic Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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 Clearwater Free Clinic Inc's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
