What Facts Initiative does
Mission
The primary exempt purpose of The FACTS Initiative is to provide accessible community-based mental health care to disadvantaged individuals and families in the Charlotte North Carolina area. We are dedicated to promoting emotional and social well-being with a focus on serving vulnerable populations including children who have experienced abuse or neglect and families facing extreme hardship. Our work involves direct clinical services and collaborative partnerships with other local nonprofits to ensure that vital mental health resources are available to historically underserved communities thereby reducing stigma and fostering a healthier community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Through this program The FACTS Initiative partners with nonprofit organizations serving families in crisis to provide trauma-focused mental health services. In 2024 the organization partnered with five community agencies. Through these collaborations 67 families received access to affordable specialized counseling and support services that they otherwise would not have been able to obtain.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $10k to $5k (−51%).
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.
42% of Facts Initiative’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $17 → $47k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% 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 Facts Initiative’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
Facts Initiative leans on a few funders — its largest provides 81% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Facts Initiative.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 70% — 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
100% of Facts Initiative's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k 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.
