What Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB does
Mission
Through workshops, training programs and technical assistance, we help social entrepreneurs build ventures that deliver social impact.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub is a startup accelerator for entrepreneurs who have designed social impact into their business model. We serve early and mid-stage social enterprises with expert training, collaborative learning and personalized coaching. While agnostic to the identity of the founder, 54% of our founders are women and 41% BIPOC. These are revenue producing for profit businesses delivering a double bottom line. 80% of our alumni are still in business after three years and reporting progress on their impact metric. Flywheel alumni employ over 100 people in Greater Cincinnati and have raised over $6-million in follow-on funding.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $85k to $365k (+329%).
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: 2020 7% · 2021 12% · 2022 31% · 2023 27% · 2024 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $60k → $188k.
3 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB’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
Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
43% 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 Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 75% · 2018 85% · 2019 58% · 2020 50% · 2021 61% · 2022 49% · 2023 58% — 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
50% of Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
98% of Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $260k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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
Flywheel Social Enterprise HUB's funding base is broadening — from 2 funders to 6 as grant income climbed.
