What Musicians Mission of Mercy Corp does
Mission
Musicians Mission of Mercy unites compassionate musicians and others with generous hearts to provide food, beverages and other life essentials to people in need.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
General Assistance shifted into high gear in response to Hurricane Helene. Because Musicians Mission of Mercy already had a distribution infrastructure in place with its Compassionate Commissary program, the organization became a hub of gathering and delivering life-sustaining supplies to people who suffered great loss to the hurricane. Musicians Mission of Mercy procured and delivered power generators, blankets, clothing, propane, tents, camp stoves, and many other items. In certain situations, the General Assistance program also provided cash and financial support for necessities such as electric bill payments and car repairs to help people maintain their lives and livelihoods. Thousands of people were served from September 27 through the end of 2024.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $11k to $70k (+544%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
86% 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 Musicians Mission of Mercy Corp.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
86% of Musicians Mission of Mercy Corp'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 $7k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
