What Harbor Country Mission does
Mission
Over 59,000 pieces of free clothing and household items were placed directly into the hands of the neighbors who needed them most. More than 1,000 furniture items were given to families transitioning into safe stable housing--kitchen tables sofas beds and dressers. Over 1,000 households were supported through our food pantry and emergency food programs. Crisis care referrals and essential items were given to neighbors facing homelessness unemployment and unexpected health conditions.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The resource center is available to our clients daily 11-5 365 days a year. Each client can get unlimited free clothing shoes utensils appliances home decor and furniture. They can come get this weekly until they are no longer in need. In 2025 we assisted over 1,000 households through our food pantry. We assisted 20 households we consider transitional--coming from homelessness to new housing escaping domestic violence situations into a safe housing or recovering from a fire or flood home disaster.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $207k to $277k (+34%).
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 HARBOR COUNTRY MISSION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $2k → $73k.
5 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

“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
40% of HARBOR COUNTRY MISSION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
HARBOR COUNTRY MISSION draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Michigan, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
