What People Helping People does
Mission
People Helping People (php) is dedicated to reducing the number of children living in poverty by teaching low-income women, primarily single moms, how to earn a living wage. Each year, 1,000 prospective clients enroll in our employment program and begin receiving our monthly employment tips calendar and outreach phone support. Our goal is to have 550 clients participate in our employment workshops and 380 engage in one or more phases of our 4- phase one-on-one mentoring and coaching program. People Helping People believes that every woman is capable and deserving of achieving success and self- sufficiency. We promote this belief by helping our clients see the benefits of work, identify and navigate barriers, understand their transferable skills, create a personal breakeven, and communicate their value to employers.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.6M to $2.1M (+28%).
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: 2017 33% · 2018 5% · 2019 0% · 2021 10% · 2022 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 17 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $78k → $261k.
7 of 64 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE’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
PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 11% of grant income, and it takes 9 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 9 funders to its left
27% 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 PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 19% · 2018 26% · 2019 32% · 2020 35% · 2021 9% · 2022 10% · 2023 19% — broadly stable.
“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
56% of PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
75% of PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE's grant income comes from Utah funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $212k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
