What Outreach East does
Mission
At Outreach East, our mission is simple yet powerful: to ensure no neighbor in our community has to go without life's essentials. We are a non-denominational, community-based nonprofit serving families in Davison, Burton, Goodrich, Otisville, and parts of Flint, Michigan. When individuals and families face crisis-whether it's hunger, the threat of eviction, or a utility shut-off-Outreach East is there. We provide groceries, shelter, clothing, utility assistance, and other critical resources. By partnering with local agencies, churches, and organizations, we maximize every gift entrusted to us. Grounded in compassion and guided by the belief that caring for "the least of our neighbors" is both a responsibility and a privilege, Outreach East transforms generosity into hope.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Last year, Outreach East provided direct assistance to 8,562 adults and children, distributing more than 254,901 pounds of food and personal care items. We also supplied clothing and emergency monetary assistance for rent, utilities, medical needs, and other urgent expenses. Among the items provided were diapers (approximately 500 packages), Holiday Dinners (646), Christmas Gifts for children (over 300 children), baby food, school snacks, household items, back packs, back to school supplies, winter coats, boots, hats and gloves. Thanks to community generosity, we leveraged more than $314,000 in donated goods-all of which went directly to those in need. This incredible impact was made possible by over 14,000 volunteer hours, demonstrating how deeply our neighbors care for one another.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $272k to $409k (+50%).
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 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 17% · 2023 11% · 2024 6% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of OUTREACH EAST’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $1k → $12k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% 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
OUTREACH EAST leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of OUTREACH EAST's grant income comes from Michigan funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k 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.
