We are a catalyst and facilitator for outreach for people and their churches including recruiting training and sending missions leaders and everyday disciple-makers locally and globally.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Mobilized people and their churches to put their faith into action: Worked with leaders and hundreds members of churches within the US in 2025 to facilitate tangibly meeting needs and sharing the love of Jesus Christ. This was to both within local communities here in the USA and to the extreme poor in areas of great needs in the world. Helping people and their churches see and embrace local opportunities in their own communities is a growing segment of our work. We aided our partner churches with encouragement creative ideas and opportunities while championing and facilitating partnerships and alliances. This with other churches missions and relief organizations plus we provided service and mission trip organization engagement campaigns and raising funds for compassionate causes near their church and around the world. The results included a great many individuals and their churches growing in their faith and action while serving the poor of the world and here in the USA. It also resulted in significant financial and resource giving directly to Christian relief and development organizations they became aware of in the course of serving others. 2025 was a year of FaithQuest doing…

In 2025 we continue to take a leadership role in trips as well including FaithQuest-led & co-led trips to meet and work with partners in the Middle East including Egypt Lebanon and UAE India Germany and more. We challenge people to go and to give to Gods work everywhere and to widely serve and share the story of the needs of the lost hungry thirsty sick trafficked refugees and other marginalized and suffering children and adults from the extreme poor of the world. 2025 was another year of international fears for travel at times. This news continues to spur more interest in action within the US more than in the past. This includes interest in exploring and experimenting with new partners and local opportunities and in new and bigger ways than usual. Many courageous leaders and volunteers went all-in for new outreach…
$0 spent0% of program spendingAdditional Explanation: The above 4a and 4b expenses & revenue are not allocated separately to each of the diverse activities supporting the mission. The vast majority of FaithQuest programs are accomplished by recruiting inspiring and equipping volunteers in the local church who in turn work with not only us and their churches but also serve and give directly to the Christian missions and relief organizations we have introduced to them to. We celebrate that this serving and giving does not need to happen all through FaithQuest and that our role is to be a catalyst for Kingdom-action widely through churches and organizations everywhere. The total program service expenses for 2025 were 231,726 including total grants of 9,738 on total revenue of 281,128.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $241k to $294k (+22%).
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.
94% of Faithquest Missions’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $2k → $36k.
5 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 Faithquest Missions’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
Faithquest Missions leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
59% 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 Faithquest Missions.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 53% · 2020 34% · 2021 45% · 2022 35% · 2023 32% — 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
100% of Faithquest Missions's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
59% of Faithquest Missions'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 $92k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $135k 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.
Against its field
