What Innovative Services Inc does
Mission
Innovative services, inc. (innovative care services) cares for those with disabilities, helping them lead fulfilling lives with maximum independence. Innovative's vision is to be the most trusted care provider for people with disabilities in wisconsin.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Innovative provides 24/7 residential care with dignity for people with disabilities through two different models. Adult family homes (afh) are state-licensed programs in which 4 or fewer non-related adults with disabilities live in a home in the community. Community based residential facilities (cbrf's) are state-licensed programs in which 20 or fewer non-related adults with disabilities or other needs live in a home in the community. Clients receive treatment or services, above room and board, and may receive up to seven (7) hours of nursing services per week. This is "home" for our clients and allows for one-to-one attention and greater integration into the community. Innovative's team members serve these people 24-hours per day, 7 days per week during the year.
$9,257,949 spent$8,473,488 earned by the program50% of program spendingWe offer community supported living (csl) programs to people with disabilities to allow them to remain and thrive in their own homes. Csl services are provided as needed and are focused on achievement of outcomes, not specific hours of service. This flexible and low-cost model serves anywhere from 3 to 30 individuals in a community with any of the following needs: personal grooming, medications, housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, shopping, leisure activities inclusive of transportation and accompaniment for medical and other appointments. The use of assistive monitoring technology allows greater independence for individuals in a community supported living program.

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 $4.8M to $14M (+187%).
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: 2017 25% · 2018 27% · 2019 30% · 2020 22% · 2021 24% · 2022 28% · 2023 26% · 2024 22% · 2025 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
28% of INNOVATIVE SERVICES INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2021: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $20k → $13k.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% 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 INNOVATIVE SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 3 of 4 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
INNOVATIVE SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 78% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 INNOVATIVE SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 50% · 2021 60% — 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.
Where its funders are
95% of INNOVATIVE SERVICES 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 $5k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Wisconsin funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $97k 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.
