What Maslow's Army Inc does
Mission
Our end vision is to offer hope to the city's less fortunate and homeless population by providing the skills needed to become self-sufficient. By sharing our personal experiences we gain their confidence. What makes us unique is the fact that we meet each person hassle-free and without an appointment. Being homeless is a situation, not an identity. We communicate with each client on a personal level. We listen to their wants and needs. We walk them through a system of setting goals based on their strengths and interests. We call this our "pie system". Each time an individual client sets a goal, we help them to accomplish their goal by a series of smaller goals we call "pie slices". This helps the indiviual gain self-esteem and motivation. We are one of the very few that treat the disease and not just the symptoms. "if you put a band-aid over the problem, the problem still exists".
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Provided outside, friday outreach in front of hamilton county public library in downtown cincinnati. Food included sandwiches from our daily bread and drinks and snacks from action ministries of northern kentucky. We regularly served 120 - 150 people each friday, including homeless and less fortunate. Organized and managed an outside, sunday outreach in front of the hamilton county justice center on sycamore street. Our services included larosa's pizza, fresh fruit (bananas, oranges, and apples), pastries, hygiene kits, donated clothing, and haircuts. We served an average of 150 - 300 homeless and less fortunate. When outside temperatures dropped to freezing back on october 31, 2019 until december 19, 2019, and the normal emergency cold shelters were not yet open, maslow's army collaborated with several churches in cincinnati and with the hamilton county justice center to provide nighttime shelter and meals for the homeless population left stranded on our streets. We also used maslow's army buses to collect homeless that were stranded on streets in cincinnati and norther kentucky. These services helped up to 200 people each night.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $2k → $12k.
4 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 MASLOW'S ARMY 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
MASLOW'S ARMY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
72% 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 MASLOW'S ARMY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 62% · 2021 42% · 2022 82% — 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
33% of MASLOW'S ARMY INC's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 50% 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 FY2022, 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
72% of MASLOW'S ARMY 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 $46k that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $118k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
