What Inside Out Network Inc does
Mission
The activities of the Inside Out Network are primarily focused on helping empower men and women navigate the prison experience and the challenges of reentry from prison to society. (see schedule O for full primary exempt purpose statement)
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Services provided. We continued to develop and expand the Inside Out Network online platform across the states of Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon, engaging with departments of correction, recruiting reentry service providers, registering returning citizens, and connecting them to each other on our online platform. We expanded our services into prison libraries in Arizona in 2025. Number of persons benefitted. In 2025, we were able to register and connect 3,899 new returning citizens (16,220 overall) with 90 new reentry service providers (683 overall), who exchanged 54,054 messages and conducted 54,923 searches.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $48k to $13k (−74%).
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.
87% of Inside Out Network Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $41k → $102k.
3 of 12 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 Inside Out 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.
How concentrated its funding is
Inside Out Network Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
48% 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 Inside Out Network Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 49% · 2022 23% · 2023 29% — 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.
Where its funders are
Inside Out Network Inc draws 93% of its grant income from funders outside Arizona, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $215k 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.
