As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The homeownership resource center (hrc) provides financial literacy education and coaching to primarily low-to-moderate-income individuals and potential homeowners. The hrc has received national recognition as being one of the top agencies in the country providing default counseling and foreclosure prevention services. Additionally, the hrc provides one-on-one long term budget counseling and educational workshops for potential first time homebuyers. Licensed counselors help individuals to understand their credit report, live within their budget, and eventually attend a first time homebuyer workshop to help them prepare to purchase a home that they can afford. With the skills learned in the organization's homebuyer workshops, the homebuyer will have a better understanding of what a mortgage is, how to negotiate closing costs, down payments, insurance, future maintenance, and the myriad of other obstacles faced by first time or uneducated homebuyers. In 2025, 163 individuals were educated through homeownership classes and coaching, and 89 purchased a home. The current owned properties are being considered to build low-to-moderate income housing for the charleston tri-county area.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $46M to $57M (+24%).
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: 2017 16% · 2018 27% · 2019 27% · 2020 37% · 2021 37% · 2022 33% · 2023 39% · 2024 31% · 2025 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income rose $475k → $873k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 FAMILY SERVICES 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
FAMILY SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 98%; 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 FAMILY SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 74% · 2019 67% · 2020 88% · 2021 96% · 2022 97% · 2023 84% — growing more concentrated.
“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
FAMILY SERVICES INC draws 87% of its grant income from funders outside South Carolina, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $59k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
