What Life Prep Ministries does
Mission
To teach high school students/young adults how to have confidence to defend their faith in Jesus Christ, learn life skills by doing and how to handle relationships and conflict to be better prepared to successfully enter their next stage of life.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Engaged with high school seniors over the course of the 2025 2026 school year via meetings and training sessions to equip them in handling finances, relationships, school, parents, and siblings in the context of their Christian faith. Took a number of high school seniors on a five-day road trip, Epic Trip, to have them experience Christian community in the context to the following types of activities: adventure, education, and service. Also to students on a mission trip to Jamacia to serve an impoverished community.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $61,993.
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 $12k to $36k (+212%).
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.
64% of LIFE PREP MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $37k → $52k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 LIFE PREP MINISTRIES’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
LIFE PREP MINISTRIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
43% 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 LIFE PREP MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 95% · 2022 55% · 2023 66% — 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.
Where its funders are
LIFE PREP MINISTRIES draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $35k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.

LIFE PREP MINISTRIES has grown faster than three-quarters of the 104 youth development nonprofits its size.
