What Outfitters for Christ does
Mission
Outfitters for Christ (ofc) delivers outdoor adventure and mentorship programs that reach across demographic and generational boundaries to fill the void of discipleship in our society. Our programs are for families and individuals of all ages, with the specific design of promoting christ-centered development in family and relationships, leadership and work, values and ethics.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The cowboy way: the cowboy way is a program based on the iconic character traits of the cowboy such as "live each day with courage", "when you make a promise, keep it", "some things are not for sale", know when to draw the line", and other important foundational concepts that challenge kids to evaluate and develop theircharacter.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $58,767.
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 2021 to 2022, from $71k to $160k (+127%).
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.
100% of OUTFITTERS FOR CHRIST’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $15k → $30k.
4 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.

How concentrated its funding is
OUTFITTERS FOR CHRIST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
52% 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 OUTFITTERS FOR CHRIST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 65% · 2020 71% · 2021 58% · 2022 100% · 2023 67% — 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 OUTFITTERS FOR CHRIST'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 $87k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $95k 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. 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.
