Program
The mission of Phil's Friends Nfp is to bring christ-centered support and hope to those affected by cancer. This is done through care package delivery, monthly card outreaches, and one-on-one support (phone calls, home and hospital visits, etc.). The mission relies heavily on volunteers. 20,000 volunteers served in 2025. Additionally, overhead expenses are kept low through in kind-donations such as professional services and facilities.

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 2024 to 2025, from $622k to $1.3M (+104%).
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 7% · 2021 10% · 2024 1% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of PHIL'S FRIENDS NFP’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 11 funders, grant income fell $153k → $42k.
12 of 39 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 PHIL'S FRIENDS NFP’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 39 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
PHIL'S FRIENDS NFP has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% 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
34% 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 PHIL'S FRIENDS NFP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 35% · 2019 35% · 2020 36% · 2021 31% · 2022 25% · 2023 30% — 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
33% of PHIL'S FRIENDS NFP's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
PHIL'S FRIENDS NFP draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Indiana, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $229k 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.

PHIL'S FRIENDS NFP runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 5,002 health nonprofits its size.
