What Mission Agape does
Mission
Mission Agape is devoted to demonstrating God's love on earth. It is our mission to love people, meet their needs, and build lasting relationships. We follow God's leading, give of His resources, and share His love. The result of this effort is that people are drawn closer to God and lives are changed.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The school programs include the weekend food bags program, the school supplies program, the christmas blessing, and a partnership with communities in schools. These programs provide food supply to children who have been identified as being food insecure as well as school supplies and christmas gifts to many of the same families. The organization served 1,500 students at up to eighteen misd elementary schools with food bags that were delivered every thursday during the school year as well as 1,400 mini food bags provided to teen students at middle school and high school campuses each month through our partnership with communities in schools. An additional 1,200 students were helped with school supply needs and 1,200 children were blessed at the christmas event.
$342,538 spent57% of program spendingThe mobile food pantry holds prepares and delivers food boxes to community partners in eight surrounding counties for families who are food insecure. It provided approximately 600 food boxes for families in 2024. The community food pantry provides food assistance once per month for families who have been referred to us by a community partner. The community food pantry provides food to approximately 75 families per month. During each visit, we establish a personal relationship by covering their needs in prayer and give words of hope. The food assistance opens the door for us to offer both physical and spiritual nourishment.

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 2023 to 2024, from $1.4M to $2.9M (+113%).
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 MISSION AGAPE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

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 6 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $83k → $437k.
6 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 MISSION AGAPE’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
MISSION AGAPE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 60% · 2019 67% · 2020 50% · 2021 41% · 2022 23% · 2023 60% — 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
73% of MISSION AGAPE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
98% of MISSION AGAPE's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $573k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
