What Community of Faith Mission does
Mission
Organization Mission - Community of Faith Mission, Inc. is the only emergency winter shelter program serving homeless men, women, and families in the Greater Williamsburg area. The organization provides three meals a day, 126 nights of safe shelter and other resources to the area's most vulnerable citizens during the coldest months of the year. The shelter rotates weekly to a different host location where the guests meet caring volunteers and staff. COFM collaborates with the other community resource providers and makes regular referrals for medical care, rapid re-housing, and other social services. The organization is front line help for people who are coming from evictions, off the streets, out of woods, or out of jail, and serves as the bridge between living unsheltered and finding permanent housing. Part VI, Line 11b: A board of officers reviews the tax return.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Program Service Accomplishments - In November 2012 the Organization successfully launched its first season of the emergency winter program and served more than 50 homeless guests during 12 shelter weeks. Since then the number of shelter guests has grown to more than 100, and COFM has annually offered 18 weeks of food, shelter, and other resources, including referrals for medical care, rapid re-housing, and other social services. COFM continues to be the area's only emergency winter shelter for homeless men, women, and families, and has grown to a collaboration of more than 30 faith congregations, 12 community partners, and thousands of volunteers. COFM met its strategic plan for year 5 of the program and moved from all-volunteer management to hiring two part time shelter managers to facilitate operations at host sites throughout Greater Williamsburg, and for year 5 by hiring an executive director to run the shelter program.

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 2020 to 2021, from $186k to $269k (+45%).
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.
72% of Community of Faith Mission’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $5k → $52k.
3 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Community of Faith Mission leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 Community of Faith Mission.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 85% · 2021 89% · 2022 70% · 2023 48% — 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
0% of Community of Faith Mission's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 90% 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
88% of Community of Faith Mission's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $46k 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. 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.
