What Lightsys Technology Services Inc does
Mission
LightSys exists for the worship of God; for assisting in the fulfillment of Jesus Christ's great commission; and for the discipleship, mobilization, and encouragement of believers in Jesus. These purposes include, without limitation, the provision of IT consulting, IT training, software services, and missions mobilization, to missionaries and non-profit Christian missions organizations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Program: Software Research and Development for Missions. During 2024, we continued work on the Kardia missionary sending software system, with a goal to provide missions with free-of-charge, flexible, and secure data processing for missionary sending offices. Kardia development in 2024 focused on integrations, research tools, and machine learning. We also continued support for Midwife-EMR, an EMR system for missionary maternity clinics in the developing world, with three total deployments. We also hosted our thirteenth annual Spring Break Code-a-Thon for Missions, in March 2024, with 60 attendees working on fourteen projects for ten mission organizations. In all of these things, we emphasize the need for the leading of the Spirit of God in order to see true fruitfulness when developing technology for world missions.
$101,488 spent41% of program spendingProgram: Technology Consulting for Christian Missions. During 2024, we assisted organizations sixteen times in-person and provided significant remote assistance to many more organizations as well throughout the year. Our goal in all of these things is to help missionaries and mission organizations focus more effectively on the work of Christ's Great Commission, by providing them with the Spirit-led, quality, and free-of-charge technology consulting that they otherwise would not be able to obtain.

During 2024 we carried on discipleship and training activities in conjunction with our consulting work. We also emphasized discipleship and training in our one-year and summer internship programs, with one intern participating during 2024. We hosted the 2024 International Conference on Computing and Mission with 67 in attendance, with a focus on prayer, worship, Bible teaching, fellowship, and 19 formal and 12 informal workshops and break-out sessions on various leadership, technology, and spiritual growth topics. Our goal with this event is to build up the body of Christ by encouraging and empowering the work of evangelism around the world. We also helped to encourage two other ICCM conferences in Africa. We also visited two universities in person, speaking to students one-on-one and in classes, seeking to encourage and mobilize people with Spirit-led technology skills (particularly computer science) to get involved in world missionary work. We mailed out (for free) over 150 copies of our 10/40 Window prayer and mobilization poster to people who requested it, and gave away many copies of the poster in person as well.

During 2024 we continued to support the Mission Infobank website with additions and updates, for a total of over 30,000 resources and references. We continued to expand an online GIS system to serve the mission community with a pilot project for one client, supported the Registry of Geographies for the Harvest Information System, facilitated the involvement of Christians in ministry GIS work, provided training to missionaries on GIS use, and created or updated over 240 maps and resources for five mission clients.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $115k to $140k (+21%).
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.
93% of LIGHTSYS TECHNOLOGY SERVICES INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $1k → $17.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 99% 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 LIGHTSYS TECHNOLOGY SERVICES 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
LIGHTSYS TECHNOLOGY SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 91% 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
99% 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 LIGHTSYS TECHNOLOGY SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 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
99% of LIGHTSYS TECHNOLOGY SERVICES INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $250 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
