What Community Spring Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to advance economic justice by disrupting the cycle of poverty and mass incarceration.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Just Income: We provided $800/month to justice-impacted individuals, resulting in a 31% reduction in recidivism rate and improved financial stability. Our e-learning platform educates the public on reentry challenges and has been played around 15,000 times by users worldwide as well as being adopted into college curriculums across the nation. We conducted a webinar that launched the results of our randomized controlled trial in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania with 150 attendees which resulted in national recognition in Business Insider and other media outlets. We have consulted with over 40 cities and organizations across the nation on designing and implementing a guaranteed income program.
$395,749 spentof which $192,000 as grants57% of program spendingJust Community: We conduct storytelling workshops that challenge exclusionary narratives around poverty and incarceration and equip people with tools to use their story to make change. Through these efforts, we have deepened public understanding of the harmful stereotypes faced by people impacted by poverty and incarceration. We host monthly letter writing events where volunteers write letters to individuals currently incarcerated at our county jail. Additionally, we launched a meditation group specifically for justice-impacted individuals to have a place to heal and reflect. Our organization became certified by court services, to offer community service. People with court mandated community service can volunteer at Community Spring to do activities that are enriching like storytelling, letter writing and meditation rather than activities that are extractive.
$147,862 spent21% of program spendingJust Power: Through eight-month paid fellowships, we empower directly impacted individuals to lead systems change. Our advocacy helped Gainesville become Floridas first city to adopt a fair chance hiring ordinance, expanding employment opportunities for 40,000 individuals with criminal records. We eliminated 15 local jail and court fees and saved families $2.5 million through free jail phone calls. We successfully advocated for public funding for reentry services and several of our fellowship alumni became the founding board of our local reentry hub, Released Reentry.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $88k to $1.1M (+1141%).
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: 2024 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Community Spring Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $505k → $83k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 Community Spring Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
Community Spring Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
91% 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 Spring Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 99% · 2022 50% · 2023 60% — 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.
Where its funders are
Community Spring Inc draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $54k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
Community Spring Inc is better cushioned than half of the 13,062 human services nonprofits its size.
