What Compelled does
Mission
Our mission is to be a community of faithful disciples of jesus christ who will strive to live a life that glorifies him in all that we are and do. God has called us to serve him by leading gospel transformation among the unreached and oppressed in south asia with the truth and love of jesus christ. We do this in partnership with the global body of jesus christ.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Child sponsorship and support approximately 23 million people are currently enslaved in india, nepal, and bhutan. Most are children forced into bonded (debt) slavery, with more than 10,000 girls and women sold into sex trafficking in nepal alone. Over the last five years, the poverty rate has hovered around 80% in south asia. At Compelled, we work to break the cycle of poverty by providing housing and schooling for orphaned children, as well as educational resources for communities in need. In partnership with the indian evangelical team (iet), Compelled operates safe spaces to care for orphans, children at risk, and young ones abandoned by their families. Compelled also works diligently to secure alternative forms of housing for orphaned children-whether that be with extended family members or iet missionaries. Our cost to support a child is 20 per month. In most regions of south asia, school supplies, such as a uniforms and books, are required for admission and regular attendance. Compelled seeks to remove financial barriers for low-income children who would not otherwise be able to attend school without assistance. Our cost to educate a child is 9 per month. Compelled sends…

Around 42 million indians suffer from thyroid-related disorders, and women make up 60% of those affected. Goiters, or growths in the thyroid gland due to iodine deficiency, are very common in rural villages. Compelled's medical ministry has two important focuses: operating the dayspring clinic, based in new delhi, and hosting free, fixative surgical camps in remote villages with no access to health care. Dayspring serves the poor, marginalized, at risk teen girls, slum dwellers, refectory care purposes. The patients

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $1.2M to $481k (−58%).
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.
99% of COMPELLED’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $25k → $597k.
8 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 77% 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 COMPELLED’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
COMPELLED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
77% 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 COMPELLED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 80% · 2019 100% · 2020 73% · 2021 85% · 2022 50% · 2023 95% — 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
50% of COMPELLED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
77% of COMPELLED's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $470k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Minnesota, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2018–2024), and the filings of 10 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
