01What it does

What Missions on Wheels Inc does

Mission

To provide portable showers and trailers with living quarters to non-profit and government organizations to bolster their response to disaster and community outreach at minimal cost to the organization or user.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. Missions on Wheels (MOW) provides dormitory, shower, and laundry trailers for first responders and volunteer workers responding to natural disasters. These are made available at little to no cost; as a result, more relief donations are available for the desperately needed relief work. The main components of its work are Disaster Response/Relief immediately following a natural disaster and ongoing Long-Term Disaster Recovery. When not supporting disaster recovery, Missions on Wheels is committed to local community outreach programs, including homeless ministry, youth camp programs, and urban outreach missions. Immediate Response The July 4 Texas floods took us to the Concho Valley to set up long-term recovery operations in San Angelo. 1 laundry trailer, 2 16-bed dorms, 1 7-stall shower trailer, and multiple generators are in service with CityServe at The Life Church. Private donations have offset our expenses so far, enabling over 250 volunteers to serve this multi-county area without taxpayer funds or invoicing our non-profit partners. The rental savings in 2025 exceeded $250,000! Long Term Recovery In June, we wrapped up over 2.5 years of operations with Inspiritus in Southwest…

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income fell $41k → $33k.

4 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 Missions on Wheels 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

Missions on Wheels Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 74% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 1 funder.

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

87% 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 Missions on Wheels Inc.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $72k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
