What Our Friends Place does
Mission
Our Friends Place is dedicated to helping young women break the generational cycles of abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness through empowering self-reliance and independence.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Transitional Living Centers (TLC)Our Friends Place operates two Transitional Living Centers (TLC) Beazley House (est. 1992) and Pauline's Place (est. 2015) in Old East Dallas, providing safe, stable housing and comprehensive on-site support for single women ages 18-24 who are experiencing homelessness. Each site offers three furnished apartments with private bedrooms and shared living spaces, serving up to 18 residents total. Residents receive individualized case management, goal development and service planning from on-site managers. Program requirements include weekly case management meetings, enrollment in education or vocational training, part- or full-time employment and saving a minimum of 10 percent of earned income. Weekly life skills groups address workforce readiness, financial literacy, housing stability, resource navigation and goal setting. Residents also participate in off-site professional and social experiences to build social capital. In 2025, 35 women participated in the TLC program; residents lived in the program an average of 209 days, saved an average of $850 and earned an average of $15.15 per hour (Our Friends Place, 2025 Annual Report).SOAR to Success…

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,016,808.
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.
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 $3.0M to $2.3M (−21%).
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 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 20 funders to 28 funders, grant income rose $297k → $658k.
13 of 64 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 OUR FRIENDS PLACE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 64 funders by total. 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
OUR FRIENDS PLACE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
63% 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 OUR FRIENDS PLACE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 25% · 2018 29% · 2019 25% · 2020 20% · 2021 17% · 2022 22% · 2023 19% — 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
52% of OUR FRIENDS PLACE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
87% of OUR FRIENDS PLACE's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
