What Metro Hope Ministries Inc does
Mission
Metro hope ministries exists to bring people in bondage to life-controlling habits to jesus christ and to equip them to lead godly lives. Our vision is to be a national model for effective christ-centered recovery.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Metro hope ministries serves men, women and children devastated by life- controlling habits. Led through outstanding christ-centered residential recovery programs, these wounded individuals receive personalized and professional care and discipleship from dedicated staff. Progressing over a period of 6 to 12 months from assessment to healing to equipping to graduating, they acquire the tools to transform into healthy and fruitful members of our society. Metro hope believes that at the core of all human struggles, including addictions is mankind's tragic separation from our creator. Consequently, its programs aim toward and promote the total healing (physical, mental and spiritual) available through the finished work of jesus christ. During this period, 155 men were admitted into our men's program. This number was lower this fiscal year due to the fact that men would come into our guest rooms and didn't want to leave so they stayed for the residential program. The revolving door closed. 53 women and 65 children were admitted to our women and children's programs. All together, they received 28,662 nights of shelter and 85,986 nutritious meals along with countless hours of life…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,601,817.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $1.5M to $2.2M (+48%).
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: 2021 8% · 2023 11% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $100k → $270k.
9 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 METRO HOPE MINISTRIES 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
METRO HOPE MINISTRIES INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
70% 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 METRO HOPE MINISTRIES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 40% · 2019 27% · 2020 40% · 2021 42% · 2022 51% · 2023 46% — growing more concentrated.
“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
64% of METRO HOPE MINISTRIES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
59% of METRO HOPE MINISTRIES 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 $683k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $996k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
