What Northern Nevada Dream Center does
Mission
The Northern Nevada Dream Center was created out of a vision to bring hope and relief to residents in carson city, nevada. Their purpose is to meet basic needs and provide assistance through existing and future services, such as: emergency food boxes, monthly outreaches to individuals and families living in motels, toiletries for the homeless, educational services, clothing, and fun activities and services for children through their dream kids program.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The organization's primary expenses are for its saturday supper/food truck, dream christmas, and rescue campaigns. Through these ministries, many families in the carson city community who are striving to make ends meet can rely on having food, clothing, blankets, assistance towards their housing costs, diapers for babies, and other necessities.

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 2022 to 2023, from $35k to $136k (+290%).
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 39% · 2021 31% · 2022 51% · 2023 68% · 2024 55%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of NORTHERN NEVADA DREAM CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

How concentrated its funding is
NORTHERN NEVADA DREAM CENTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
42% 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 NORTHERN NEVADA DREAM CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 93% · 2021 51% · 2022 100% · 2023 96% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
