What Florida Church Planting Network Inc does
Mission
The Florida Church Planting Network is a voluntary association of participating churches within the Central Florida, North Florida, Southwest Florida, Korean Southeast, and Suncoast Presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church of America ("PCA") that plants and supports new churches, supports and promotes the growth of existing churches, and supports and promotes new and existing chapters of campus ministries. (PCA churches are divided into geographic areas and are referred to as presbyteries.)The Organization accomplishes its exempt purposes by 1) recruiting church planters, 2) strategically planting new Gospel Centered Presbyterian Church in America churches, 3) planting and supporting Reformed University Fellowship ministries on college campuses, 4) coaching and shepherding church planters and their wives, 5) promoting the spread of the reformed faith, and 6) providing financial resources for these activities.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
Church planting: The Organization works closely with each presbytery's Mission to North American ("MNA") Committee (the committee that is responsible for starting new churches in that presbytery) to identify locations for new churches based on growth forecasts for each county and other demographic information. At the same time new locations are being identified, the Organization works with PCA-approved seminaries to identify potential future church pastors. The Organization visits seminaries, holds ministry luncheons, and establishes relationships with seminary students who show interest in being trained to start a new church.The Organization's goal is to plant four churches each year in the Florida presbyteries, through grant-making efforts to these new church starts and support for training programs to teach new pastors and their wives. The Organization's method for church planting includes a process of 1) prayer, 2) finding and developing pastors, 3) coaching and solving problems, 4) contributing time and talent, and 5) providing dedicated, reliable funding.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $78k → $19k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 Florida Church Planting Network 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
Florida Church Planting Network Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
51% 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 Florida Church Planting Network Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 32% · 2023 53% — 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
51% of Florida Church Planting Network 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 $61k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $63k 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.
