What Ms Impossible does
Mission
Ms, impossible will provide financial assistance and community support to young adults living with multiple sclerosis to help them navigate the diagnosis and pursue a life full of possibilities. The corporation may also make distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3).
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We meet with young folks living with MS (our mission) and develop relationships and form bonds. Our founder is instrumental in reaching young adults with MS and creating a network for them. We have started monthly calls with tips for living with MS for our folks. We have funded grants for over 46 young adults with MS for various services to support their symptoms of MS. We hosted an annual retreat with over 80 young adults living with MS from all over the country. We paid for airfare, hotel and meals and had educational sessions for attendees. We also created a network of over 400 young adults that we support and mentor throughout the US.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2024 to 2025, from $237k to $444k (+87%).
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.
99% of MS IMPOSSIBLE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 48% 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 MS IMPOSSIBLE’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
MS IMPOSSIBLE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% 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 MS IMPOSSIBLE.
“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.
Where its funders are
91% of MS IMPOSSIBLE's grant income comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $86k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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
MS IMPOSSIBLE runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 7,883 health nonprofits its size.
