What Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County does
Mission
Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County is dedicated to building a better future for people in neighborhoods through programs and activities that educate, strengthen families, and create a sense of community. Our approach to human services, while not new, is a bit different from many human service agencies. Most agencies are driven by a specific issue, problem, or the needs of a demographic subgroup. Our mission, on the other hand, is driven by the needs and interests of the families in our neighborhoods.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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.
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 $2.8M to $4.5M (+58%).
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.

95% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $105k 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.
