What Fort Wayne Catholic Radio Groupinc does
Mission
Amplify the voice of the creator, by fostering content that invites.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Fort wayne catholic radio group was originally established to air catholic radio programs to a potential listening audience of 300,000. Because of the steady decline of radio listenership and the growing number of podcasts being produced, in 2021, fort wayne catholic radio group/dba redeemer radio expanded its offerings by creating spoke street media, an online platform that allows more on-demand content. Now rather than hearing from the same 6-7 people each weekday, we can draw on hundreds of different programs, podcasts and voices. Through these new voices, redeemer radio and spoke street media educate listeners on a broad range of topics to nurture their spiritual, mental, and physical health. Spoke street media was able to reach an excess of 350,000 downloads from its online platform from all over the world. The terrestrial radio stations and that division was sold to relevant radio and closed in late 2023. All assets including cash, equipment, and intellectual properties for the remaining division (spoke street media) were donated to max studios a division of the university of st. Thomas in houston tx. The final donation of cash was made on december 30, 2024.

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.
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 $860k to $0 (−100%).
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: 2021 9% · 2022 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of FORT WAYNE CATHOLIC RADIO GROUPINC’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 FORT WAYNE CATHOLIC RADIO GROUPINC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 43% · 2018 61% · 2019 52% · 2020 77% · 2021 60% · 2022 40% · 2023 45% — broadly stable.
“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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $154k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
