What Midland's Open Door does

Mission

Midland's Open Door (MOD) operates two crisis shelters, one for women and children and one for men. MOD's programs are designed to meet the immediate needs of homeless individuals by providing a safe and loving environment where each person will have the space, time and resources needed to move towards stability and independence. In addition, MOD also facilitates community outreach programs through our soup kitchen and clothing ministry.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  4. Community Outreach Midland's Open Door provides assistance for community guests. Needs include homeless prevention services, job search assistance, and referrals for community assistance. In addition, Midland's Open Door partners with other shelters, soup kitchens, and food distribution organizations to alleviate food insecurity by relocating excess donations to where they can immediately be used most effectively. Clothing donations that are beyond the Open Door's ability to timely distribute are also redirected to other organizations within Michigan.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $28k → $154k.

7 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 96% 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 Midland's Open Door’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

Midland's Open Door leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

96% 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 Midland's Open Door.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

How long its funders stay

55% of Midland's Open Door's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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

96% of Midland's Open Door'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 $35k that is directly attributable, 69% of it comes from Michigan funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $779k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
