What Miami Rescue Mission Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to follow the Lord Jesus Christ's great commission by serving homeless & needy men, women & children. We provide emergency services & comprehensive residential programs to effect lasting change and empower people to become productive members of society.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In Miami-Dade County, there are two residential centers (the Center for Men and the Center for Women and Children), the nonresidential Miami Community Activity Center, the Tew Education Center, the MRM Health Clinic and four transitional houses. The Center for Men provides 320 beds for programs, which include emergency services, long-term care and transitional housing. Approximately 150 men per day were involved in an 8 to 14 month intensive program of education, counseling, discipleship training, career preparedness and job entry called the Regeneration Program. There is also a program for Hispanics that are challenged by the English language called Vida Cambiadas (Changed Lives). On average, an additional 150 to 250 men per day are provided with a shower, change of clothes and dinner. Our Center for Women and Children's AWARENESS (A Woman's Answer Regarding Education, Nurture, Encouragement, Self-esteem, and Salvation) Program is a six month long comprehensive program designed to help each woman adjust and stabilize their lives in the areas of housing, income, education, employment, and independent housing.

The store provides merchandise for sale such as clothing, appliances, furniture, bric-a-brac, etc. Donated items are picked up by MRM's fleet of trucks. Many donated items are put into direct use by the Centers (furniture, paint, clothing, appliances); the remaining items are sold to help fund homeless programs. The Bargain Barn is a place to help train residents for future employment. The Mission / the Barn hires many of the men and women who complete the residential programs with thirty-five percent of staff being formerly homeless.

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 2021 to 2022, from $30M to $29M (−5%).
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: 2017 25% · 2018 23% · 2019 22% · 2020 20% · 2021 14% · 2022 16% · 2023 1% · 2024 11% · 2025 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of Miami Rescue Mission Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 29 funders to 58 funders, grant income rose $589k → $825k.
19 of 137 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% 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 Miami Rescue Mission Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 137 funders by total. 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
Miami Rescue Mission Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
26% 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 Miami Rescue Mission Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 27% · 2018 31% · 2019 28% · 2020 23% · 2021 21% · 2022 27% · 2023 18% — 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
46% of Miami Rescue Mission Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 66% 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
90% of Miami Rescue Mission Inc's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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.
Against its field
Miami Rescue Mission Inc's funding base is broadening — from 29 funders to 58 as grant income climbed.
