What Information and Referral Network Inc does
Mission
Connect2Help facilitates connections between people who need human services and those who provide them. Individuals and families need to know where to call for assistance in times of difficulty. However, they are often unable to obtain available services quickly and easily due to a lack of knowledge and/or fragmentation of the service delivery system. The purpose of Connect2Help is to help people find their way to available services ranging from food banks to crisis assistance and everything in between.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
Connect2Help personnel, staffing their 24 hour/days, 7 days/week, 365 days/year 2-1-1 Call Center, answer rate this year was 81%. for all incoming calls. This fiscal year Connect2Help answered over 178,000 calls. Only 10% of all needs were considered unmet.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2020: the base narrowed from 8 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $1.5M → $369k.
6 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 INFORMATION AND REFERRAL NETWORK 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.

INFORMATION AND REFERRAL NETWORK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 INFORMATION AND REFERRAL NETWORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 86% · 2018 74% · 2019 81% · 2020 91% — growing more concentrated.
“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
13% of INFORMATION AND REFERRAL NETWORK INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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 FY2020, 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
99% of INFORMATION AND REFERRAL NETWORK INC's grant income comes from Indiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $350k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
