What Houston's Amazing Place Inc does
Mission
Amazing Place empowers families facing the challenges of dementia and Alzheimer's and advances brain health for all. The Organization serves adults with mild cognitive impairment and mild to moderate dementia, caregiving families and friends, and those interested in brain health.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Day Program: A state-licensed adult day center, Amazing Place operates a state-of-the-art wellness center for those with mild to moderate dementia. Research has shown that individuals with dementia benefit from a structured environment, stimulation, and socialization. We offer cognitive stimulation, creative and cultural arts, civic service, fitness, compensatory cognitive interventions, and spirituality. Our stimulating program adapts to the interests and individual strengths of the participants. We are open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We customize care plans for our participants and meet routinely to review their status. The program includes health services, family services, and culinary services.
$2,182,124 spentof which $94,968 as grants$1,400,751 earned by the program65% of program spendingAmazing Place received a collaborative grant from the Administration for Community Living to launch three new and expanded initiatives. First, the Faith Care Connection program was expanded into the West Houston/Katy community, working alongside churches to serve older adults living alone and at risk or with dementia. The Faith Care Connection team trains clergy, staff, and lay leaders about becoming dementia-friendly congregations. Our Star C program utilizes experienced volunteers as trained consultants to offer in-home interventions to caregivers, using an evidence-based intervention to manage difficult behaviors. See Schedule OThe third initiative is Amazing Place's first Spanish program, Cuidando con Respeto (caring with respect), provided to family caregivers caring for loved ones with dementia. In January 2024 we also added Cognitive Stimulation Therapy under our ACL grant to serve adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in this small group, evidence-based program which is held twice per week for one hour over a 7 week period.

This includes caregiving family members and friends whom we support through a vast array of programs/services aimed at educating them about dementia and helping them provide the care and support needed for their loved ones, as well as take care of themselves. This also includes providing the community with the latest in brain health strategies, offered through our education classes and presentations designed to elevate the importance of lifestyle interventions in reducing the risk of dementia. We offer all of these programs at our Drexel location and throughout Houston at various churches, offices, community centers, and more.

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 2021 to 2022, from $13M to $19M (+39%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $167k → $1.5M.
12 of 61 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.
From the IRS filings of Houston's Amazing Place Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 61 funders by total. 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
Houston's Amazing Place Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 32% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
54% 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 Houston's Amazing Place Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 52% · 2018 51% · 2019 52% · 2020 20% · 2021 23% · 2022 34% · 2023 39% — 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
41% of Houston's Amazing Place Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
51% of Houston's Amazing Place 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 $4.3M that is directly attributable, 97% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
