Mission
Exodus lending works with financially excluded minnesotans to advance economic justice through consumer lending, community organizing, and advocacy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our refinancing loan program has been paying off high-cost debt for minnesotans since 2015. In 2025, we paid off 138 loans with an average apr of 260% for 98 minnesotans! Our repayment plans are always interest-free, and, by our estimates, we have saved more than $500k for minnesotan communities this year alone. Alongside our flagship predatory debt refinancing program, exodus lending collaborates with non-profits throughout minnesota to provide 0% interest personal loans of up to $1,200 to qualified individuals engaged in these partnering organizations' existing programming. We call these our resiliency loans because they are intentionally designed to provide individuals meaningful access to affordable credit - and ultimately stop people from turning to high-cost loans in the first place. In 2025, we made 119 resiliency loans, distributing over $143,000 in interest-free loans to minnesotans. By offering loans exclusively through trusted partners, we deepen our collective impact by creating a collaborative model of consumer lending that meets people where they are and supports them every step of the way.one of our goals for the year was to have more frequent, but smaller events to…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $631k to $5.0M (+689%).
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: 2018 22% · 2019 19% · 2020 6% · 2021 27% · 2023 7% · 2024 3% · 2025 42%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of EXODUS FINANCIAL SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 11 funders, grant income rose $1k → $293k.
11 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% 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 EXODUS FINANCIAL SERVICES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 31 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
EXODUS FINANCIAL SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 41% · 2019 47% · 2020 51% · 2021 65% · 2022 26% · 2023 24% — 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
20% of EXODUS FINANCIAL SERVICES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 32% 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
98% of EXODUS FINANCIAL SERVICES's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $253k 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.
