What Next Chapter Ministries does
Mission
Next chapter's mission is to build lasting relationships with people impacted by the cycle of incarceration, restoring them to god, family, and community through holistic gospel transformation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Next chapter reentry project provides safe transitional housing, comprehensive case management, workforce development, life-skills education, and faith-based mentoring to approximately 178 formerly incarcerated, justice-involved, and homeless individuals each year. Through a holistic approach that addresses housing instability, employment, recovery, family reunification, spiritual growth, and long-term self-sufficiency, we help participants overcome the barriers that often lead to homelessness, recidivism, and chronic poverty. By equipping individuals with the resources, relationships, and support necessary to rebuild their lives, we create safer communities, stronger families, and lasting pathways to independence.
$394,431 spent$99,971 earned by the program96% of program spendingNext chapter reentry project provides year-round educational, mentoring, and faith-based programming to approximately 62 high-risk children and youth whose lives have been impacted by incarceration, crime, addiction, and family instability. Through academic enrichment, character development, positive mentorship, and biblical teaching, we equip young people with the tools to make healthy decisions, build resilience, and envision a future beyond the circumstances of their birth. Our goal is to break the intergenerational cycle of crime and incarceration before it begins by strengthening family relationships, fostering a personal relationship with god, and connecting youth to a supportive community that promotes hope, accountability, and long-term success.

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 2019 to 2020, from $516k to $713k (+38%).
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: 2020 34% · 2021 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
56% of NEXT CHAPTER MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $22k → $63k.
7 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% 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 NEXT CHAPTER MINISTRIES’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
NEXT CHAPTER MINISTRIES has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 31% 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
80% 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 NEXT CHAPTER MINISTRIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 52% · 2019 45% · 2020 37% · 2021 41% · 2022 71% · 2023 54% — 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
38% of NEXT CHAPTER MINISTRIES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
78% of NEXT CHAPTER MINISTRIES's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $193k 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.
Against its field
NEXT CHAPTER MINISTRIES's funding base is broadening — from 2 funders to 5 as grant income climbed.
