01What it does

What Enfleshed does

Mission

creating spiritual and religious resources

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. Liturgy that Matters - continued to provide hundreds of clergy and communities across the U.S. and some beyond with weekly resources to support them in worship prep through sermon commentaries and liturgy. The immediate number of people accessing the resource was around 1000 and those benefitting in a larger sense would be among the tens to hundreds of thousands participating in the liturgy or worship services shaped by the resource.

  2. Resource generation: Creation and disbursement of our newest resource speak easy plus disbursement of our publication soft words for hard days: enfleshed disability wisdom which included contributions on disability and chronic illness from board staff and creative council members of enfleshed. Plus a third print run of sacred incantations and multiple live events to feature all resources. Between these three resources over 2000.

  3. Public theology - from our social media posts to bi-monthly columns to our liturgy library to special events to podcasting - the three co-directors write and curate words about god to be used in private spiritual meditation collective gatherings of grief compassion and power worship settings classrooms books and many other contexts. The number of people impacted would be upwards of 100,000.

02The organization over time

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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.

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.

2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 ENFLESHED’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

ENFLESHED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% 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

92% 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 ENFLESHED.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 62% — 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

51% of ENFLESHED'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 $12k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Iowa, across 2 states.

MN
IN

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2025 (financials across 2019–2025), and the filings of 4 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
