What Covenant Community Care Inc does
Mission
The mission of Covenant Community Care is to show and share the love of God, as seen in the good news of Jesus Christ, by providing integrated, affordable, and quality health care to those who need it most.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2024, Covenant Community Care (Covenant) served 17,360 patients through 54,400 visits across our three sites. Covenant's mission states care and concern for "those who need it most" in our communities. This includes the poor, uninsured and underinsured, and others who have been marginalized in society. It also includes our neighbors and people in our region who are seeking compassionate healthcare providers. Our patient population can present challenges that make medical compliance and follow-up, attainment of health goals, and accessing services difficult. Social determinants of health play a major role in the lives of our patients including job situations, home environments, food access, and other factors. We continue to (1) look for ways to sustain and build new partnerships with mental health agencies and other social service organizations, and (2) sustain and develop programs to help us improve how we carry out our mission.

Covenant Michigan, Moross and Joy offer a full array of oral health services with state-of-the-art equipment including dental exams, x-rays, cleanings, fillings, sealants, root canals, extractions, crowns, fluoride treatments, scaling and root planing, and dentures & partial dentures. The school-based team currently cares for students at many Headstart locations, Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) schools, and non-DPSCD schools. The Team also takes dental services to community-based organizations when they are not working in schools, including the Pope Francis Center, an agency focused on providing meals, supportive services, crisis response, and housing assistance to Detroit community members in need, especially those experiencing homelessness.

In addition to outpatient counseling, our primary medical and behavioral health care services are provided through an integrated delivery model. The integration of behavioral health screenings improves service delivery and outcomes in several ways. We identify behavioral health needs earlier in their progression, allowing for early intervention by our Behavioral Health Counselor. We also believe that by making behavioral health screening a routine practice, it helps to remove the stigma often associated with receiving behavioral health services.
$582,181 spent$474,170 earned by the program5% of program spendingCovenant has integrated enabling services into our organization to address health care access and utilization barriers. We provide transportation to and from our clinical locations via Lyft (scheduled by our front desk staff). Covenant has a contract with an interpreting service for the provision of foreign language translation and interpretation for our non-English speaking patients. We also have bilingual staff members at our Michigan Avenue facility located in Southwest Detroit, the area with Detroit's largest Hispanic and Latino populations where one in five households have limited English proficiency. Clinic materials (registration forms, sliding fee discount schedules, informational flyers, and signage) are produced in both English and Spanish. We continue to use infographics, when possible, to communicate more effectively with people who have lower levels of literacy.

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 2022 to 2023, from $13M to $18M (+36%).
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 28% · 2018 31% · 2019 34% · 2020 50% · 2021 45% · 2022 43% · 2023 43% · 2024 31%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
33% of Covenant Community Care Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (7% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 9 funders, grant income fell $862k → $373k.
4 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 Covenant Community Care Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 24 funders by total. 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
Covenant Community Care Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
81% 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 Covenant Community Care Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 67% · 2019 74% · 2020 46% · 2021 69% · 2022 61% · 2023 81% — 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
28% of Covenant Community Care Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
94% of Covenant Community Care Inc's grant income comes from Michigan funders.
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.
