What NC Survivors Union Inc does
Mission
North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition NCHRC is a statewide grassroots organization dedicated to the implementation of harm reduction interventions, public health strategies, drug policy transformation, and justice reform in North Carolina and throughout the American South.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On August 31, 2025, Louise Vincent, the revered founder and executive director of N.C. Survivors Union, passed away. The board moved swiftly to help the organization through the following transitional period, and plans were made for transition planning, contracting strategic planning consultants to hold an in-person convening in the first quarter of 2026. Don Alan Jackson, Vincent's partner, ultimately became executive director in her stead. In 2025, NCSU managed many innovative direct service grants, including a contract from the county to continue our buprenorphine service partnership with telehealth buprenorphine provider Boulder Care; RHAPSODI, a grant which allowed us to partner with local drop-in shelter the Interactive Resource Center; RODEO, a grant which allowed us to set up pop-up distribution points throughout the nearby city of High Point; as well as a grant from the National Coalition of Mental Well-being in which we mentored newer organizations on our longstanding harm reduction knowledge and upstream overdose prevention mechanisms.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $274k to $493k (+80%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 91% · 2023 35% · 2024 31% · 2025 38%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of NC Survivors Union Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $299k → $121k.
4 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% 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 NC Survivors Union 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
NC Survivors Union Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% 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
77% 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 NC Survivors Union Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 49% · 2021 74% · 2022 74% · 2023 44% — 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
0% of NC Survivors Union Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 32% 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
NC Survivors Union Inc draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside North Carolina, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $455k 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. 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.
