What Good Samaritan Ministries does
Mission
Christian mission dedicated to helping its residents overcome homelessness, poverty, alcohol and drug dependency. Our year long program seeks to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our participants. The key to our success is character transformation, which is a spiritual process that begins when an individual acknowledges his sinfullness and helplessness, and accepts the redemptive sacrifice of jesus christ restoring him to fellowship with god.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The good samaritan men's program offers a hand up, ranther than just a hand out. This year long program is geared toward developing a relationship with jesus christ, and cultivating this relationship to bring change in one's life. The program is divided into two phases, beginning with six months of a closely supervised regimen. Phase one residents live in a dormitory and have very little personal time or opportunity to get into trouble. During this time, the program focuses on critical issues such as drug withdrawl and accepting personal responsibility for one's circumstances. In addition, the words and work of jesus christ are introduced as the way to complete salvation and life anew.
$1,713,334 spentof which $120,000 as grants99% of program spendingWhile some of the donations that we receive are used for the basic needs of the men involved in the discipleship programs, many of the items donated are placed in our thrift stores and sold to the community. The proceeds from these sales are used to subsidize the various costs of the ministry such as taxes, maintenance, fuel, insurance, utilities and mortgage payments for buildings.
Part of the good samaritan discipleship program involves work therapy. Each program participant is given a job to report to each day, and is expected to fulfill all of the requirements set before him. Needless to say, our program participants have a wide variety of backgrounds and skills, and are used in many capacities of running a ministry. In addition to this, we have two crews which have been made available to the general public for hire, which include: (1) maintenance. The good samaritan maintenance crew is available for small jobs and a variety of handyman projects, which incudes, but are not limited to, painting, janitorial services, etc.

Good sam's auto offers used cars affordably priced to help those in need of reliable transportation. These donated cars are given a thorough inspection by our qualified staff, and are available to view at our ministry headquarters. Good sam's auto sales also plays a part in the rehabilitation and training that we offer to our men who are participating in our discipleship program. Through onsite job training, these men are able to acquire job skills that can be utilized after graduation in order to seek gainful employment.

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 2018 to 2019, from $3.3M to $5.1M (+55%).
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.
57% of GOOD SAMARITAN MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 13 funders, grant income fell $62k → $61k.
7 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 GOOD SAMARITAN MINISTRIES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 28 of 29 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
GOOD SAMARITAN MINISTRIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 64%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
58% 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 GOOD SAMARITAN MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 97% · 2018 75% · 2019 88% · 2020 66% · 2021 32% · 2022 49% · 2023 49% — 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 GOOD SAMARITAN MINISTRIES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
61% of GOOD SAMARITAN MINISTRIES's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $157k 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.
