Programs
Village Thrift Shop: In addition to providing a great means of reusing and repurposing goods instead of sending them to landfills, our thrift store also gives us the opportunity to provide entry-level jobs to clients in our program, such as cashier and transport truck positions. Our store also offers all clients in our program 80 off our store price and this allows people to buy clothes, appliances, and housewares at significantly reduced prices. We also partner with other nonprofit organizations in our community, and we allow the people they serve to receive significantly discounted prices on all items in our store. All profits from our store go directly to our client programming, and we put nearly $200,000 of profit back into our client programming each year.

Over the past 22 years we have built a community-wide network of 71 churches, 51 nonprofits, 22 businesses, and 3 government agencies. This network seeks to remove obstacles so our clients can transform their lives. When people experiencing need call Love INC we perform a client-intake to match them with a trained, volunteer mentor who checks-in weekly, creates an action plan, and provides accountability to mutually-agreed-upon goals. As trust grows, the mentor learns what the client needs, and activates our network to meet their needs. As clients stabilize, we encourage them to participate in our life skills curriculum, which includes 8-week courses in subjects such as personal finance, employment, parenting, health + nutrition, and healing from trauma.

Love INC vets each need, and then we mobilize churches to get involved in the lives of people in our community. This can look many different ways, and it includes group service projects, donating vehicles to people in need, contributing supplies to a community-wide personal care pantry which provides goods often lacking from food pantries soaps, detergents, paper towels, shampoo, feminine hygiene products, rallying churches to serve the homeless, and coordinating churches to bless local schools.
$157,698 spentof which $304 as grants10% of program spendingTransform Community: We bring business, nonprofit, government, and church leaders together in order to tackle major problems in our community such as the shortage of attainable housing, predatory lending, the need for greater support around our foster care system, our need for cold night shelters, human trafficking, and domestic violence. By leveraging the power of our community, we facilitate systemic changes that shape our community into a better place for all people. Our position of influence in the community allows us to bring together missionally-aligned organizations and individuals to create solutions to some of our community's biggest problems. Several recent successes on the community-level have been the creation of cold night shelters in several cities, the creation of a foster care support network, and the creation of a 24/7 crisis hotline for ministry leaders experiencing crisis.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $659k to $1.0M (+57%).
How it's funded, over time

From the IRS filings of Love INC of Brevard’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
Love INC of Brevard leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
82% 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 INC of Brevard.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 78% · 2019 82% · 2020 67% · 2021 59% · 2022 30% · 2023 29% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of Love INC of Brevard's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 79% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
76% of Love INC of Brevard'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 $116k that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $377k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
