Programs
Children - SPLASH The heart of GAP is to preserve the dignity of every child we serve, providing them with love, stability, and every opportunity to succeed. GAP provides safe and loving homes to over 255 abused and neglected children and teens every year in 7 family-oriented group homes called SPLASH homes throughout Tucson. Siblings are able to stay together while in care and children are given love and support through the stability afforded within our family-model of care.

We also supervise court-mandated visitations between children and their families, with the desire that children and parents establish a healthy relationship while working toward reunification whenever possible. In addition, we provide resources and training for families on the brink of removal due to overwhelming life circumstances, poverty, addiction, and generational cycles of abuse and neglect. Many biological parents with children in the system were abused and neglected as children, and never learned the skills they need to be nurturing parents. Though reunification is not always possible, we work with parents who are motivated to break cycles of abuse and neglect.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2021 to 2022, from $5.9M to $9.7M (+65%).
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: 2019 72% · 2020 71% · 2021 57% · 2022 43% · 2023 36% · 2024 27% · 2025 54%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of GAP MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $68k → $146k.
8 of 39 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% 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 GAP MINISTRIES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 39 funders by total. 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
GAP MINISTRIES has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
78% 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 GAP MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 44% · 2018 50% · 2019 50% · 2020 57% · 2021 45% · 2022 40% · 2023 34% — 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
27% of GAP MINISTRIES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% 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
GAP MINISTRIES draws 54% of its grant income from funders outside Arizona, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $335k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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
GAP MINISTRIES's funding base is broadening — from 9 funders to 13 as grant income climbed.
