What Humanity Relief does
Mission
Humanity Relief is a not-for-profit organization that has been resettling refugees, survivors of domestic violence, survivors of human/sex trafficking and homeless families in Chicago and Chicagoland for over eight years. The reason we focus on them is because they lack the resources to strive toward upward mobility and although housing is their most immediate need, we provide everything a home needs and continue to assist them with the resources and skills they need to achieve their goal of stability. Most of our clients are seeking employment since they are exiting local shelter programs or have recently entered the United States. We also do mobile care package and food distributions for the homeless on the south and west sides.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Resettlement Program: We furnish transitional apartments for homeless families, refugees, domestic violence and trafficking survivors exiting shelters/entering the country. Along with furnishings we ensure that we provide essentials like hygiene items, cleaning supplies, school supplies, clothing and other basics so resettlement families have everything they need to pursue upward mobility immediately. This is our largest program, on average we resettle 2-4 families a week. We purchase beds, dressers and other discounted items from Good360 and Amazon Business.
$35,662 spent85% of program spendingSkill Development Program: Our mentors and teachers are certified and experienced in working with refugees and domestic violence/trafficking survivors. After our clients have been resettled our teachers and mentors work with them both one-on-one and in-class to not only develop English reading and writing skills but to also improve their resumes and job interview skills! Budget printers/laptops are provided upon request to students who attend classes regularly. Typically, resettlement clients are referred to us from partnered charities that run transitional housing and shelter programs.
$1,344 spent3% of program spendingMobile Homeless Distribution Program: We are one of the very few charities that does mobile distributions every week in the city of Chicago! Volunteers and staff members take our cargo van outside shelters on the south and west sides to distribute care packages to the homeless. Care packages consist of food, clothing items, hygiene products, etc.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $7k to $16k (+111%).
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 HUMANITY RELIEF’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $1k → $17k.
1 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 HUMANITY RELIEF’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 8 of 9 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
HUMANITY RELIEF leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
57% 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 HUMANITY RELIEF.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 74% · 2023 82% — 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
17% of HUMANITY RELIEF's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 33% 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
67% of HUMANITY RELIEF's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $83 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
Against its field
HUMANITY RELIEF's funding base is broadening — from 2 funders to 3 as grant income climbed.
