What Lasting Change INC does
Mission
The mission statement of the organization is changing hearts and bringing hope to individuals, families, and communities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The residential facility in Wheatfield, IN ceased operations as of April 20, 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Residential services - an average of 50 boys were housed and served at our 24-hour residential facilities in Pierceton, Indiana and Fort Wayne, Indiana. The residents participate in a sexual offender relapse prevention, substance abuse and behavior, and/or independent living program. The facilities offer housing, a school, gymnasium, a wood workshop, and a horticultural greenhouse. We help our residential students focus on overcoming the past and seeking hope for the future.

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 2021 to 2022, from $19M to $40M (+106%).
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 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 2% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
2% of Lasting Change INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (95% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $132k → $31k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
