Programs
Concordia Lutheran Ministries of Pittsburgh operates Concordia of the South Hills and Concordia at Villa St. Joseph, two top tier skilled nursing facilities in Western Pennsylvania. Our South Hills location sits atop a picturesque valley in the heart of the South Hills of Pittsburgh, and is very well established in the local community. The Villa St. Joseph community, which is also a Medicaid facility, is positioned just north of the neighborhood of Sewickley Heights, and is surrounded by beautiful, quaint scenery. Beyond just their great locations, our skilled nursing facilities offer some of the top care in the state and strive each and every day to care for your loved ones in the absolute best way possible. As a charity, Concordia also understands that sometimes our loved ones need assistance in paying for their ongoing care. Benevolent care is a core tenant of the mission of Concordia Lutheran Ministries. So much in fact that the parent organization (Concordia Lutheran Ministries) funded Concordia of the South Hills to establish the Caring Fund. Through the use of this fund, a portion is disbursed every year for not only the benevolent care of residents at the facility, but…

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 2017 to 2018, from $56M to $80M (+43%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $37 → $68.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $4.2M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Concordia Lutheran Ministriesfoundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CONCORDIA LUTHERAN MINISTRIES OF PITTSBURGH raised.

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
CONCORDIA LUTHERAN MINISTRIES OF PITTSBURGH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 CONCORDIA LUTHERAN MINISTRIES OF PITTSBURGH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2023 76% — 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
100% of CONCORDIA LUTHERAN MINISTRIES OF PITTSBURGH'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 $52 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $75k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
