What Habitat for Humanity - Spokane does

Mission

Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope to realize our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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.

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 Habitat for Humanity - Spokane.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $390k 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.
