Programs
St. Lawrence cares is a brand new organization in st. Lawrence, south dakota. The group was founded in may of 2021 by four very community-minded residents, shelby wieseler, andrea mushitz, jansen naber, and hannah caffee. These four individuals all had the same dream in mind: to make their small town the very best it can be. Their mission is simple, complete community based projects that are focused on the future. Through this mission, the goal of st. Lawrence cares is to make the st. Lawrence community as welcoming as possible for families of all sizes, children of all ages, and visitors from near and far. To meet their goal, the first undertaking of the organization is to work with local community members in st. Lawrence, as well as miller, to install a safe, fun, and easy to access playground. St. Lawrence cares is joining forces with the local community to come together and build a new playground. The area will benefit from this playground with local children finally having a safe, close to home and central place to grow and play. The intended playground is much needed in our community and features multiple installations to make it welcoming and inviting for all children and…
$10,000 spentof which $10,000 as grants77% of program spendingBackpack buddies program: in 2009, hannah caffee began working on her girl scout gold award project. She decided there was a true need in our community to help needy families and their school age children. She decided to do a backpack buddies program that would provide filled backpacks at no cost to these families. The first year the program gave 17 backpacks away. Each year, the numbers increased with the largest number in 2015 - 53 backpacks on average, this program gives 30 backpacks a year. After hannah went away to college, the program was directed by liz welk with help from sylvia wieseler. After liz went away to college, taylor schlechter directed the program and later had her sister callie help out. Callie schlechter is currently the director. The adult supervisor continues to be tammy caffee who takes care of financials with grant applications and fundraising as needed. The united methodist church has been very generous with providing a room where school supplies can be stored and where the backpacks can be assembled. They have also provided money to help this program. Other supporters over the years have included miller area foundation, senior citizens of hand county,…

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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $59k to $119k (+100%).
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.
100% of HAND COUNTY HEALTH & WELLNESS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (95% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income rose $8k → $10k.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 HAND COUNTY HEALTH & WELLNESS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 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
HAND COUNTY HEALTH & WELLNESS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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
100% 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 HAND COUNTY HEALTH & WELLNESS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 87% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
100% of HAND COUNTY HEALTH & WELLNESS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 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 $1k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside South Dakota, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.6M 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.
