Programs
The healthy village senior group program is a crucial means of conveying mental health and other health-related concerns, social interaction, and educational support to the underserved iu mien community between the ages of early 40's to late 80's. It allows participants to share stories, current events, community resources, as well as learn from resource providers regarding topics such as management of chronic disease, nutrition, food safety, and mental and physical health. During 2023, the senior group hosted the annual senior lunar new year celebration, which celebrates iu mien's culture, heritage and community sprirt. The event attraced over 200 attendees. We also hosted multiple flu vaccine/covid-19 booster clinics throughout the year. In addition, the "help me cards" program was created for seniors to use in emergencies. These provide a simple tool for participants to communicate needs and access assistance, which enhances safety and independence.also delivered turkeys to our senior community members to foster a sense of community and ensure that seniors had a joyful thanksgiving celebration.

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 2022 to 2023, from $162k to $280k (+73%).
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: 2021 48% · 2022 45% · 2023 61% · 2024 88%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $14k → $9k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% 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 IU MIEN COMMUNITY SERVICES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 7 of 8 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
IU MIEN COMMUNITY SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 IU MIEN COMMUNITY SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 62% · 2021 68% · 2022 96% · 2023 59% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
63% of IU MIEN COMMUNITY SERVICES's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
