What Immerse Arkansas does
Mission
Immerse empowers youth from crisis to transform into overcomers through relationship-based coaching and therapy plus supports."
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Abuse, neglect, and trauma have wreaked havoc on the relationships, identity, and resilience of youth from crisis making their transition to adulthood extremely difficult. Immerse Arkansas surrounds youth from crisis with unconditional relationships, tools that anticipate their needs and dreams, and a vision of their restored future. This approach is woven into a drop in youth center called "the oc", a youth shelter serving youth 18-24 called "the station", and a transitional living program serving youth 14-24 in both little rock and conway. Immerse Arkansas' oc youth center provides youth with critical supports for healthy adulthood. Through the oc, immerse inspires youth to achieve big goals, and connects them with tools and a community of support as provided through case management (coaching), life skills classes, mentorship, tutoring, and tangible supports including showers, laundry, and hot meals. The oc serves as the hub of immerse operations and serves all youth in immerse programming. Immerse's transitional program, lifebase, equips youth from crisis as they transition into adulthood. Through lifebase, youth are provided intensive, individualized coaching, life skills…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2022 to 2023, from $6.7M to $9.9M (+48%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 22% · 2020 30% · 2021 27% · 2022 29% · 2023 20% · 2024 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of IMMERSE ARKANSAS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $288k → $2.5M.
14 of 48 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 42% 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 IMMERSE ARKANSAS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 48 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
IMMERSE ARKANSAS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
50% 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 IMMERSE ARKANSAS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 61% · 2018 60% · 2019 70% · 2020 33% · 2021 46% · 2022 29% · 2023 40% — 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
44% of IMMERSE ARKANSAS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% 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
IMMERSE ARKANSAS draws 71% of its grant income from funders outside Arkansas, across 12 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
