What Josh Provides Epilepsy Assistance Foundation Inc does
Mission
The mission of joshprovides is to improve the quality of life for those living with epilepsy or other seizure disorders through the distribution of seizure alert devices recommended by the client's physician; sponsoring the seizure alert training of service dogs; offering financial assistance with medical services for diagnosis and treatment of seizures, as well as safety devices such as helmets, cooling vests and other medically necessitated items; and awarding transportation assistance to medical appointments through ride share programs, gas cards and bus passes. In addition, joshprovides strives to eliminate the stigma and social isolation associated with epilepsy through community education and epilepsy awareness and sponsoring a virtual epilepsy support group that meets twice a month.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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 2019 to 2020, from $337k to $503k (+49%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year

From the IRS filings of JOSH PROVIDES EPILEPSY ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION 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
JOSH PROVIDES EPILEPSY ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 28% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 JOSH PROVIDES EPILEPSY ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 40% · 2019 49% · 2020 33% · 2021 80% · 2022 55% · 2023 34% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of JOSH PROVIDES EPILEPSY ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% 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 FY2023, 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
62% of JOSH PROVIDES EPILEPSY ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION 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 $321k that is directly attributable, 79% of it comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $528k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
