What Faith Through Fire Inc does
Mission
Faith Through Fire holds space for men and women to heal emotionally from the trauma of breast cancer. Their mission is to reduce the fear and anxiety breast cancer patients feel and replace it with hope and a path toward thriving. They serve as the conduit to ensuring patients receive the emotional support and networks of care needed to take survivors beyond routine physical interventions to a place of comprehensive healing.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Peer Mentorship Program In 2025, Faith Through Fire matched 103 breast cancer patients with survivor mentors who had walked the same road - offering not just encouragement, but lived understanding that clinical care alone cannot provide. Each mentorship averaged approximately one year in duration, spanning the full arc of treatment and the critical transition into survivorship. To protect the quality of every relationship, no mentor supported more than three mentees at a time - ensuring patients received consistent, personal attention when they needed it most. Mentors provided ongoing emotional support, real-time guidance, and help navigating the often-overwhelming landscape of resources available to patients. The result: fewer patients feeling alone, less fear, and greater engagement in life during one of its most difficult seasons. The impact speaks for itself - 95% of Faith Through Fire patients would recommend the program to someone newly diagnosed.
$123,531 spent54% of program spendingCommunity Education Breast cancer doesn't pause between appointments - and neither does Faith Through Fire's commitment to keeping patients informed, empowered, and supported. Through the Besties with Breasties podcast and targeted resource distribution, Faith Through Fire delivers accessible education that meets patients wherever they are. In 2025, the organization produced 24 episodes covering topics that matter most to patients and survivors - from lymphedema prevention and mental health to navigating the emotional terrain of survivorship. The podcast is gaining real traction: episodes average approximately 145 downloads, placing Besties with Breasties above the national median and within the top 25-40% of independent podcasts. For a nonprofit health podcast, this is a meaningful benchmark - one that reflects a growing audience of patients, caregivers, and advocates who are actively seeking this kind of support. Beyond the podcast, Faith Through Fire distributed key resources to program participants in 2025, including the Caregiver Support Guide and the Fearless Guide - practical tools designed to help patients advocate confidently for their own care and well-being.

$28,772 spent13% of program spendingSurvivorship Bootcamp Finishing treatment is not the finish line. For many breast cancer survivors, the end of active care brings a disorienting silence - no more appointments, no more clear next steps, and no roadmap for what comes next. The Survivorship Bootcamp exists to fill that gap. This structured, six-session program guides survivors through the work that clinical care rarely addresses: processing trauma, rebuilding identity, and charting a genuine path toward thriving. In 2025, Faith Through Fire hosted four bootcamps - offered both virtually and in-person - serving 24 survivors across each cohort. The curriculum moves participants through emotional healing, identity reconstruction, and forward-focused goal setting, all while building the peer connections that sustain long-term recovery. Survivors leave not just with tools, but with a community. The outcomes are measurable and significant. Participants reported increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and a clearer sense of direction following treatment - with an average anxiety reduction of 55% as measured by the GAD-7, a clinically validated assessment tool. For survivors who felt lost at the moment they were supposed to…
$35,398 spent16% of program spendingHouse of Hope A cancer diagnosis doesn't just affect the patient - it disrupts an entire family. Appointments, treatments, and the weight of uncertainty consume daily life, leaving little room for rest, connection, or the kind of quiet that healing requires. The House of Hope at Innsbrook Resort was created to give that space back. Located at the Innsbrook Resort in Missouri, the House of Hope offers a fully cost-free retreat experience for breast cancer patients and their families - a place to step away from the clinical world and simply breathe. Priority is given to those facing terminal diagnoses, veterans, and active participants in Faith Through Fire's peer mentorship program, ensuring the retreat reaches those carrying the heaviest loads. In 2025, Faith Through Fire provided 59 stays for patients and families at various stages of treatment and survivorship. Each stay offered more than rest - it offered restoration. Guests found space for reflection, reconnection with loved ones, and emotional healing that the routine of treatment rarely allows. The results are felt long after checkout. Participants consistently report leaving the House of Hope feeling renewed, more…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $153k to $743k (+387%).
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.
88% of FAITH THROUGH FIRE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $2k → $661k.
6 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 74% 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 FAITH THROUGH FIRE 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
FAITH THROUGH FIRE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
80% 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 FAITH THROUGH FIRE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 97% · 2022 60% · 2023 87% — 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
57% of FAITH THROUGH FIRE INC's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 57% 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
74% of FAITH THROUGH FIRE INC'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 $273k that is directly attributable, 79% of it comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $774k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
