As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Approximately 60 families, accounting for 134 children, were served through heart change women's programming in 2024 with god's transforming word, life skills training and discipleship/mentoring. These women and children, all living below the poverty line, received lunch either two days a week or three days each week on mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays depending on their class schedules. In addition, they received parenting instruction; biblical instruction to discover god's design for them as women, mothers and members of their community; and life skills education, which includes time management, financial stewardship, health and hygiene and work ethic. Three women pursuing their ged or high school diplomas were tutored in math and english to prepare them for their exams. We assisted women who were homeless in securing safe housing. Volunteers gave of their own time and resources to provide transportation and other physical assistance such as food, clothing, diapers, baby needs and household needs. Mother's university is a semester long intensive program of discipleship and change. Four women graduated in 2023. Nine women participated in the gift of work initiative.…
$351,204 spent$61,140 earned by the program100% of program spendingOur programs include a pre-school educational program for children ages 0 to 5.

Our goal is to prepare our pre-school children for their academic journey so that they enter kindergarten on par with or ahead of their classmates who have benefitted from pre-school experiences. Specific learning objectives are: appropriate social behavior, develop listening skills, follow instructions, fine motor skills, large motor skills, letters, colors, numbers, understanding the concept of being asked a question and answering a question and building vocabulary. In the summer of 2024, we continued to support our high school aged boys with developing future vision for their lives post high school providing significant experiences and field to expose them to a wide range of opportunities for work/careers as well as a college campus visit to connect them with an advisor, breakdown fears of the unknown and help them see that college could be a reality for them. During the fall semester of 2024, we launched our intensive…
Food: in 2024, we fed approximately 3689 children's breakfast snacks and 7833 lunches for all. Much of the food we serve is donated; however, we do purchase a significant amount of it. We also continued to distribute food to our most food insecure families at the end of each month, focusing on protein, dairy, and fruits and vegetables. On average we are distributing food to 7 families per month.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.2M to $5.2M (+24%).
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.
96% of HEART CHANGE MINISTRIES INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $290k → $558k.
9 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 71% 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 HEART CHANGE MINISTRIES 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
HEART CHANGE MINISTRIES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
71% 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 HEART CHANGE MINISTRIES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 69% · 2018 87% · 2019 68% · 2020 100% · 2021 71% · 2022 79% · 2023 50% — 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
25% of HEART CHANGE MINISTRIES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 35% 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
71% of HEART CHANGE MINISTRIES 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 $1.0M that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from Indiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
