What Continuing the Circle of Kindness Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to continue the kindness that jesus displayed. We model this by supporting several programs intended to elevate people's well-being spiritually and financially. We oversee a single moms' program, fund a scholarship that is available to students enrolled in radiography and physical therapy assistant programs, partner with medical mission programs, and help others in need that coincide with our mission. Through these endeavors, we hope to positively impact the world around us and bring honor to jesus in keeping with our mission.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
We started the single mom's ministry within churches to help promote support groups that are building a loving, encouraging community of women and children. The group will receive an ongoing donation for food, childcare, and immediate needs of the women and children that support our mission. We have been meeting weekly with meals provided, activityes provided for the children during the meeting times, and gifts for moms in times of need.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $107k to $80k (−25%).
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.

CONTINUING THE CIRCLE OF KINDNESS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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 CONTINUING THE CIRCLE OF KINDNESS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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 CONTINUING THE CIRCLE OF KINDNESS INC'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
