What Kinsmen Initiative does
Mission
To faithfully demonstrate a redemptive, Christ-centered brotherhood. And influence others to do the same.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Programs
Printing / Distribution - Our largest expense item as part of our program services for 2023 was the printing and distribution of Kinsmen Journal. A 240-page book with essays and photography, designed to provoke thought, dialogue, and formation. Also, the adjoining packaging and materials needed to support the distribution were included here. Sales of the book, including both individual and bulk sales was the only revenue generated outside of donations to the organization.
$26,890 spent$20,769 earned by the program36% of program spendingEvents (non-fundraising) - Each year, the organization hosts a series of gatherings for the men in the community and region. In 2023, there were two KINSMEN: Table gatherings hosted where expenses totaled $22,821.44. These gatherings are not a revenue source for the organization, which is why there's no revenue, they're completely free of charge for each of the invited attendees.

Rather, as needed, professionals would be hired for specific work, like graphic design, photography, speaking, podcast production, etc. This was the 3rd largest expense category for program services that contributed to the fulfillment of the vision / mission of the organization.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
5 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% 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 KINSMEN INITIATIVE’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
“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
61% of KINSMEN INITIATIVE's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $104k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
