$117,457 spent46% of program spendingAccomplishment 2 the mentoring for life change (mlc) program is a one-on-one and group focused program created to break the intergenerational cycle of criminal behavior in youth affected by parental incarceration. Since july 1999, mlc has made inroads in strengthening family relationships; improving or maintaining good behavior and academic progress in school; increased community service and career awareness in the lives of at-risk youth. Mlc program focuses on the expansion of services Parenting With Purpose (pwp) provides to children and families affected by incarceration. This program is developed in response to a specific inmate need for assistance to restore and strengthen family relationships and to reduce and prevent the cycle of child abuse and neglect in families with an incarcerated parent. This expansion includes more intense services to children and their families. Pwp believes that as a family is strengthened, they will be greater assets to our communities. The strengthening we believe is holistic, including living a healthy lifestyle by maintaining regular check-ups for children and adults, eating healthy, exercising regularly, and learning skills to reduce stress.…

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 $130k to $229k (+77%).
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 17% · 2021 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
85% of PARENTING WITH PURPOSE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (73% 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 7 funders, grant income rose $1k → $85k.
6 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 PARENTING WITH PURPOSE’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
PARENTING WITH PURPOSE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 93% · 2019 92% · 2020 80% · 2021 98% · 2022 55% · 2023 53% — 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
43% of PARENTING WITH PURPOSE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% 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
95% of PARENTING WITH PURPOSE's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $48k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
