What Echo of Brandon Inc does
Mission
Echo bridges the gap between crisis and stability. The organization operates two thriving resource centers which offer social work services, case management, one on one job coaching, mobile back to work teams, in house internships, financial assistance, and a variety of workshops. In an effort to meet immediate, critical needs, echo also maintains fully stocked fresh food and clothing mini markets. The echo team is committed to one on one service. Those served are called neighbors, rather than clients. With a strong belief that we are all in this together, the organization works with neighbors, rather than for neighbors. The ultimate goal is for each neighbor to move from crisis to stability, while connecting with staff and volunteers who are genuinely rooting for and advocating on behalf of them. Founded in 1987, echo serves the 18 zip codes that comprise unincorporated hillsborough county.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Emergency food and clothing: in an effort to meet immediate, critical needs, each echo resource center maintains clean and orderly fresh food and clothing mini markets. Neighbors are invited to self-shop, up to three times per year. Each family member receives a weeks' worth of food (20 pounds per person) and a weeks' worth of clothing (5 complete outfits per family member). Victims of fire are encouraged to take reset items such as linens, kitchen items, and toiletries. Echo currently has 2 fulltime and 2 part time employees, and 1 director. These employees enjoy the support of over 150 weekly volunteers. For this fiscal yearend, 20,109 neighbors picked out their own food and clothing.

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 $1.9M to $2.7M (+44%).
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 2% · 2021 3% · 2022 1% · 2023 2% · 2024 0% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of ECHO OF BRANDON INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

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.

How concentrated its funding is
ECHO OF BRANDON INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% 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
48% 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 ECHO OF BRANDON INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 87% · 2018 61% · 2019 47% · 2020 47% · 2021 79% · 2022 40% · 2023 17% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $523k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
