What Fellowship Southwest does
Mission
Fellowship Southwest is an ecumenical regional network of Christians and partner ministries promoting compassion, justice and connection throughout the Southwest US. Our ministry includes a network of pastors serving migrants on both sides of the Mexican border as well as folks working to alleviate hunger, address systemic racial justice, promote compassionate immigration policies and support ministries among Native American tribes in the region. Fellowship Southwest's Thriving Congregations Immigration Ministry (TCIM) builds upon and formalizes current activities of Fellowship Southwest and partner congregations along the border and in non-border locations by engaging churches in immigration ministries of compassion and justice.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Support includes shelter, food, transportation, clothing and basic needs of migrant families at the US border. FSW support 8 shelters and pastors who serve 1000s of migrants each day.

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 2023 to 2024, from $991k to $2.2M (+118%).
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.
86% of FELLOWSHIP SOUTHWEST’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $513k → $106k.
1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 FELLOWSHIP SOUTHWEST’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
FELLOWSHIP SOUTHWEST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 96%; 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: 2021 100% · 2022 90% · 2023 57% — 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
60% of FELLOWSHIP SOUTHWEST's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $60k 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.
Against its field
