What Jacobs Well Ministries Inc does
Mission
Jacob's Well Ministries, Inc. offers residential recovery for men, women, and pregnant women for six months who are caught up in a lifestyle of addiction and substance abuse. We give them room and board as well as vocational education and employment opportunities while giving them sound biblical teachings that will assist in freeing them from their life of addiction. We have a second step transition program where our clients pay off fines and debts they owe to agencies as well as getting their children back.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Jacob's Well Ministries operates Christ-centered residential recovery programs serving men, women, and pregnant women struggling with substance abuse. Our primary facilities provide structured, long-term treatment that integrates evidence-based recovery practices with spiritual discipleship and life skills development. Services include counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention education, vocational training, and supervised community-based employment opportunities. Pregnant residents also receive specialized prenatal support, ensuring both maternal and child health throughout recovery. These programs are designed to remove individuals from environments of addiction, provide safe and stable housing, and equip residents with the tools needed to achieve sustained sobriety, spiritual growth, and successful reintegration into society. On average, each participant receives six months of intensive residential care, with ongoing alumni support available after graduation.

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 2021 to 2022, from $625k to $1.3M (+101%).
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 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 5% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
41% 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 JACOBS WELL MINISTRIES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 58% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $76k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
