As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Medical Physical Therapy Clinic: FORU supports ongoing physical therapy services provided by Dr. Brooke Riley, PT, DPT, and other visiting physical therapists in rural Jamaica. In July 2025, Dr. Derek Landis, PT, DPT, and Dr. Stephanie Landis, PT, DPT, joined Dr. Riley to help provide care for orthopedic and neurological diagnoses. In 2025, the FOR U staff completed 499 patient visits at the FOR U Rehabilitation Clinic. FOR U also completed 7 home visits throughout the parish of St. Elizabeth. Home visits allow us to better meet the needs of our patients by improving their functional mobility in the home and working on activities that are important to each patient/family. Home visits also allow for spiritual and emotional support for many families who are having difficulty coping with the multifaceted stresses that life-changing illness brings. FOR U conducted one intensive neurologic rehabilitation camp in 2025 and continued using our existing model, which consisted of five to seven full days of intensive neurologic rehabilitation where patients worked to improve their gait, balance, and arm/hand function. This model also allows for home modifications, community reintegration,…
$112,345 spentof which $470 as grants79% of program spendingHurricane Relief: In October 2025, Jamaica was severely affected by Hurricane Melissa with heavy damage on the western side of the island. FOR U served the community by hosting two volunteer disaster relief teams (God's Pit Crew and Hope Force International), which helped remodel homes that were damaged by the storm. Twelve families benefited from home renovations as their roofs were repaired and sealed from the rain. Food, water, and clothing were also packed and delivered to the Paretee Community by FORU employees and eleven Ridge Community volunteers. The FOR U physical therapy clinic also sustained damage, and local construction workers were hired to do the repairs. Six jobs were created for this project. This program serves to further FOR U's exempt purposes by offering assistance to underserved persons severely affected by Hurricane Melissa.
$18,592 spentof which $8,214 as grants13% of program spendingCommunity Aid and Outreach Ministry: Over the years, FOR U has carried out community outreach programs and services aligned with our mission and vision. In 2025, FOR U continued its weekly discipleship program, which includes Bible study, prayer, and worship for adults and children in the community. FOR U also provides transportation for people with limited mobility who were unable to attend discipleship due to these limitations. Over 100 Bibles were also given away to those in need. Thirty families benefited from this service. In July 2025, FORU hosted a week-long Vacation Bible school for twenty-five community children. FOR U also supported a single mom of two children to cover the cost of groceries. FOR U also covered the cost of two disabled men in a local nursing home. A Back-To-Work Program helped a Jamaican woman regain financial independence. These programs serve to further FORU's exempt purposes by supporting spiritual and social services for community youth and adults.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2024 to 2025, from $83k to $134k (+62%).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $10k → $94.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 FRIENDS OF THE REDEEMER UNITED’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
FRIENDS OF THE REDEEMER UNITED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
61% 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 FRIENDS OF THE REDEEMER UNITED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
61% of FRIENDS OF THE REDEEMER UNITED'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 $10k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Mississippi, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k 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.
