What Mentoring Timothy Inc does
Mission
Mentoring timothy is a 10-month religious mentoring program for young men who desire to take their relationship with christ more seriously.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Mentoring timothy is a 9-month discipleship program that mentors young men aged 18-25 years of age. Our goal is to help young men cultivate a relationship with god through the study of the bible and living with fellow believers of christ. In 2024, we enrolled 8 young men for our program and were at max capacity. We believe life change happens when men live in real, intentional, and transparent community. Our program involves learning practical skills, cooking, basic mechanics, bible classes, hikes and adventures, and an international exposure trip. The last four years we have visited intercity programs in argentina and have been so impacted by the ministries there. Our off grid setting is conducive to personal growth through hard work and community living. Our property and environment provides a healthy break from our me-centered world, learning to be still before the lord, and to live a countercultural life that focuses on walking dependently on christ so that we see others through his eyes.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2021 to 2022, from $793k to $997k (+26%).
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.
100% of MENTORING TIMOTHY INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $10k → $97k.
4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 93% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
MENTORING TIMOTHY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
93% 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 MENTORING TIMOTHY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 55% · 2020 51% · 2021 69% · 2022 95% · 2023 57% — 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
93% of MENTORING TIMOTHY 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 $56k that is directly attributable, 55% of it comes from funders outside Montana, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $789k 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.
