Programs
The Drop-In Center is a physical location that provides a safe, supportive, and normalizing environment for Individuals labeled "mentally ill" in this community, especially those who are isolated in society and for those whose employment settings are not available or meeting their needs. Our intention is to provide an atmosphere of acceptance where individuals have purpose and where one is able to grow in self-worth, dignity, and self-respect. The drop-in center is intended simply as a place to just be. We will offer activities focused on fostering relationships and personal empowerment in an environment of acceptance and community. Offering opportunities to build personal confidence and a community rapport. This will be a place where no one passes judgment, diagnoses, ormedicates. Individuals will be invited to visit at will and find their community of support, compassion, self-esteem, and acceptance.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $290k to $245k (−16%).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $9k → $30k.
6 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 47% 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 NAMI Piedmont Tri-County’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
NAMI Piedmont Tri-County 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
79% 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 NAMI Piedmont Tri-County.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 54% · 2020 89% · 2021 46% · 2022 59% · 2023 33% — 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
57% of NAMI Piedmont Tri-County's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 76% 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
NAMI Piedmont Tri-County draws 53% of its grant income from funders outside South Carolina, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $129k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
