What Compassion Ministries of Waco does
Mission
It is the mission of the organization to provide services to disadvantaged and homeless families with children; to reintegrate homeless families with children into permanent housing and employment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Compassion Ministries of Waco provides transitional housing for homeless families with children. The facility can house up to 60 individuals at any point in time in the fourteen apartment units for families. Upon acceptance into the program, residents work with the case manager to design a service plan for the duration of their stay, which is usually six months. The plan identifies needs and objectives and outlines how each will be met during the resident's stay. It covers housing, employment, family needs (childcare, parenting courses, aa/na counseling, etc.), health care and personal goals. The staff provides necessary support and referrals to implement and achieve these objectives by the set target date. Each plan is re-evaluated regularly by the staff and resident to determine progress. As part of the housing goal, the organization works on qualifying families for affordable home ownership through partnerships with other local non profit organizatioins such as habitat for humanity, grassroots community development, and neighborworks.

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 $7.4M to $8.3M (+13%).
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 11% · 2021 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
33% of COMPASSION MINISTRIES OF WACO’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of COMPASSION MINISTRIES OF WACO’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
COMPASSION MINISTRIES OF WACO has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% 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
64% 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 COMPASSION MINISTRIES OF WACO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 53% · 2019 51% · 2020 66% · 2021 26% · 2022 45% · 2023 72% — 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.

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
95% of COMPASSION MINISTRIES OF WACO's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $458k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
