$334,209 spent$740,429 earned by the program71% of program spendingCommunity activities - beautification, community garden, community outreach, jewett park and senior connection. Each year links seeks to find ways to beautify our neighborhood and one of the ways is to place large flower pots throughout the eneighborhood. The residents help with planting the flowers and maintaining the care of the pots. Links hosts two community gardens in the neighborhood. The families receive plots, plants, and tools to help maintain their plots. Families pick their crops and use them at the end of the planting season for consumption. Nine months out of the year links hosts community outreach distributions. These distributions provide free clothing and household items to individuals and families who may not have the funds to purchase items for themselves. Links offers community events at jewett park. Many of the events target youth and senior citizens. Senior connection provides opportunities for seniors to receive support and to socialize. There are regular offerings such as meals and holiday parties for seniors.

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 2020 to 2021, from $56k to $246k (+339%).
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 49% · 2021 7% · 2022 8% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
21% of LINKS COMMUNITY & FAMILY SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $11k → $39k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 LINKS COMMUNITY & FAMILY SERVICES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 5 of 6 funders by total. 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
LINKS COMMUNITY & FAMILY SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 LINKS COMMUNITY & FAMILY SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 65% — 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
51% of LINKS COMMUNITY & FAMILY SERVICES'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 $111k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $114k 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.
