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 2020 to 2021, from $14M to $10M (−27%).
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: 2020 2% · 2022 19% · 2023 8% · 2024 3% · 2025 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
22% of LAKE MEAD CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (25% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year

Left out of every figure on this page: $5.9M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Lake Mead Christian Ministries Development Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money LAKE MEAD CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES raised.
From the IRS filings of LAKE MEAD CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 19 of 20 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
90% 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 LAKE MEAD CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 56% · 2019 73% · 2020 52% · 2021 80% · 2022 39% · 2023 63% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $740k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
