What Love Chatham does
Mission
Love Chatham is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established to help with homelessness in the Chatham County area. It will be a common banner under which the churches, individuals, and businesses can work together, specifically to centralize the many talents and resources available and put them into action to alleviate homelessness and other needs. Our first focus will be homelessness, but we hope to continue the work of charity and healing in the future by joining, connecting with, or establishing help for hunger, clothing, healthcare, financial planning, and spiritual counseling.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Transitional Housing: This program provides additional support for community members that are stabilizing and seeking permanent housing. This program offers more thorough casework and resources, and promotes the interests of the community member by using a housing first model as the appropriate starting point for stability. The House Manager regularly provides updates to community partners as well as a monthly summary of progress and casework. This program has some significant momentum and the path forward for more housing is being created through this program. Our first house that was setup and established at the end of 2023 is a women's transitional housing program also known a "Our House". Love Chatham is considering opportunities to expand its services through the program and developing additional capacity to serve by developing programs under this umbrella that will serve men and/or family units.
$103,366 spent39% of program spendingHotel Ministry: The hotel ministry assists community members by providing initial shelter for someone who is experiencing homelessness. The ministry then works within the network of service providers and with other community members to find support and resources. Love Chatham also provides food to clients that are living in a hotel room along with other supportive services.
$83,516 spent32% of program spendingEmergency Client Assistance: Love Chatham provides other, miscellaneous, emergency assistance when resources are available. There are many ways in which these resources may be utilized. For example, clients have been provided with much needed car repairs, gas in their vehicle, moving expenses and other ways in which Love Chatham can assist a client in need during a vulnerable time.
$44,528 spent17% of program spendingRental/Utility Assistance: Love Chatham seeks to provide some direct monetary resources, when available, when clients have a need that is unmet by other area programs or in collaboration with other programs. Love Chatham qualifies for the Emergency Housing Funds through Chatham County (EHF) and at times will be able to work with clients to meet even more needs through this available path of funding. The majority of our emergency resources are focused on emergency housing needs and the rental/utility assistance is preventative in nature. We can often prevent homelessness by intervening with direct resources to alleviate a challenge being experienced financially.
$17,998 spent7% of program spendingFurniture Ministry/Moving Assistance: We accept donations of new or used furniture and various household items to furnish new housing opportunities for clients in transition. These are redistributed to community members who have no furniture and are transitioning from homelessness. We also partner with social workers within the Chatham County school system and identify school aged students whose family may have furniture related needs, especially beds. Love Chatham has provided furniture to 179 families and individuals since the inception of this program. We have a box truck that was donated to our program that we're able to use to go get furniture and drop it off of our clients.
$8,570 spent3% of program spendingFood Pantry: Distribution occurs on the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 am to 12 pm at Freedom Family Church. The registration process is simple and low/no barrier - only basic information is collected and is all self reported. We partner with CORA and are a satellite site for their program. By following the intake process that CORA uses, we ensure access to those needing food resources. Mountaire provides Love Chatham with chicken to distribute. We also receive fresh produce and some other donations through the Food Shuttle program. Love Chatham partners with Chuckwagon to provide meals to clients that are staying in the hotels. We recently developed a partnership with Feed Well Fridges and have since put a unit at our location that community members can access anytime - day or night.

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 2022 to 2023, from $28k to $320k (+1047%).
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: 2025 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Love Chatham’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $50k → $45k.
1 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
Love Chatham leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
73% 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 Love Chatham.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 98% · 2023 97% — 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
76% of Love Chatham's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $152 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.
