What Goodwill Leads Inc does
Mission
The mission of the excel center of northern indiana is to provide adults the coursework and support needed to earn an indiana high school diploma to pursue career and college pathways.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our course progression allows us to 'meet students where they are'. Enrolling students provide a copy of their transcript from the last high school they attended which allows us to determine how many credits a student needs to complete the requirements for the core 40 diploma. Each student also sits for several academic assessments which are used to determine appropriate course placement based upon the student's current knowledge of the discipline. The majority of our courses are face-to-face, in classroom instruction with a licensed teacher with an average class size of less than 15. Some credit recovery courses are available online for students on an as needed basis. The excel center offers a unique accelerated curriculum allowing students to earn required credits more quickly. With eight week terms offered five times per year, students can advance through the program at a steady pace. The excel center has a goal to help remove barriers adult students may face when it comes to attending school. Two significant programs are public transportation assistance and onsite childcare. For those students who qualify financially, we provide free bus passes for the local public bus system,…

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 2017 to 2018, from $2.3M to $4.0M (+71%).
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: 2017 89% · 2018 87% · 2019 93% · 2020 96% · 2021 96% · 2022 93% · 2023 98% · 2024 99% · 2025 98%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of GOODWILL LEADS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $30k → $15k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $736k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Goodwill Industries of Michiana Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money GOODWILL LEADS INC raised.
From the IRS filings of GOODWILL LEADS INC’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
GOODWILL LEADS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 GOODWILL LEADS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 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
51% of GOODWILL LEADS INC'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 $48k that is directly attributable, 95% of it comes from Indiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k 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.
