What Operation No Limits does
Mission
Our mission is: to enhance the lives of at-risk youth through education, support, encouragement, positive experiences, life and social skills development, and advocacy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Gardening and landscaping curriculum. We maintain a 4000 square foot garden. The youth plant from seed and follow through to harvesting. After harvest, the youth have learned to cook, freeze, dehydrate, can, etc.
$72,398 spent97% of program spendingResume writing and acquiring employment. We have worked with all of the long-term youth to have them create a resume, apply for employment and leave the facility with employment
Greenhouse: we raised funds and purchased and built a 16x20ft greenhouse. All of our projects involve the youth to help them learn the processes of a project. This project taught them many construction skills. Math, communication, following directions, measuring twice - cutting once, team work, etc.

The 3 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $74,581.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $254k to $309k (+22%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $192 → $39k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% 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 OPERATION NO LIMITS’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
OPERATION NO LIMITS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 OPERATION NO LIMITS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 87% · 2023 47% — 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.
Where its funders are
52% of OPERATION NO LIMITS's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $51k that is directly attributable, 76% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $55k 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.
