What Lift One Up Inc does
Mission
Lift One Up is a non-profit organization that inspires, encourages, and empowers women to reach their full potential. We lift up the spiritual, emotional, and psychological well-being of individuals one step at a time. The original mission of Lift One Up (LOU) was to help those defined by their current or past challenges as they attempted to navigate through the complex issues of their present. Today, LOU has become so much more. One's issues or challenges are not a prerequisite or a determining factor in our willingness to invest in the lives of others, women of all demographics as well as today's youth. Providing a clear-cut pathway filled with hope and a defined purpose for all of our participants is our goal. LOU believes it is not how you start in life; it is how you finish it that matters most!
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Annual Vision Board Party 32 Women participated in creating a vision board to cast vision for 2025. 10 of those women were from one of our local partnerships and were sponsored by Lift One Up. The participants were able to focus on their goals and dreams for the coming year and create a focal point and reminder that they have hope for their future. Mentoring Program We impacted twenty women through more than one hundred hours of individual and small-group mentoring. These sessions have provided a safe space for personal growth and spiritual development, where women were taught, encouraged, and challenged to step into new levels of confidence and purpose. We also held a Mentoring Ceremony with dinner and a celebration of seven of our Mentees who participated in the one-on-one program for six months.Womens Retreat 28 Women gathered for a powerful time of worship and Spirit-filled teaching where they encountered God personally and with others.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $145k to $202k (+39%).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $77k → $100k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 LIFT ONE UP 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
LIFT ONE UP INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 84% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
LIFT ONE UP INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Nevada, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $77k 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.
