What Endeavor Louisville Inc does
Mission
Endeavor Louisville is leading the high-impact entrepreneurship movement in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, catalyzing long-term economic growth by selecting, mentoring, and supporting the best high-impact entrepreneurs in our region. High-impact entrepreneurs are those with leadership potential to build high growth businesses that drive job creation, economic impact, and demonstrate a commitment to the community. These high-impact entrepreneurs become key-drivers of economic growth. Endeavor Louisville provides resources to select high-impact entrepreneurs, not otherwise available, to scale their businesses, increase employment opportunities, and drive economic growth in Kentucky and Indiana. These entrepreneurs inspire others to scale up, go big, and give back as role models and mentors and reinvest in other entrepreneurs and the community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

In 2024, Endeavor reviewed hundreds of companies and contributed hundreds of hours of mentorships to entrepreneurs in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Between our Endeavor Entrepreneurs, selection as a service candidates, and Scale Up program we are now supporting over 50 entrepreneur led companies. During 2024 Endeavor Midwest created over 2,400 hours of entrepreneur support and activity. Endeavor Midwest provided entrepreneurs mentorship and other services, including support with fundraising, access to partnerships, access to new growth markets and business & leadership education programs.

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 2018 to 2019, from $340k to $537k (+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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 17% · 2022 2% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of ENDEAVOR LOUISVILLE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $50k → $64k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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 ENDEAVOR LOUISVILLE INC’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
ENDEAVOR LOUISVILLE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% 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
62% 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 ENDEAVOR LOUISVILLE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 52% · 2020 83% · 2021 49% · 2022 67% · 2023 78% — 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.
How long its funders stay
0% of ENDEAVOR LOUISVILLE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% 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
ENDEAVOR LOUISVILLE INC draws 82% of its grant income from funders outside Kentucky, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $550k 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.
Against its field
ENDEAVOR LOUISVILLE INC's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
