What PLUS Charities does
Mission
PLUS Charities operates an FCC Non-Commercial Educational (NCE) licensed FM radio station in compliance with 47 CFR 73.503 providing a nonprofit, noncommercial broadcast for the promotion of Catholicism.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Through use of FM radio, streaming audio, Facebook and now Youtube using simulcast technology, hit potential audiences with several forms of media. Use live shows and a unique philosophy-oriented show, The Tomistic Mind, to capture peoples imagination to deal construct- ively with the fear out there over world events and an on-the-move President. Let it be known that God is in control. KMMK brings common sense back into play so that people are taught how to think not what to think. Additionally, we are creating an updated book on the consecration to Jesus through Mary, BEHOLD YOUR MOTHER. It has a reference ADDENDUM section BEHOLDING YOUR MOTHER throughout History. This will edify and make life holy to the adherants through the

Our Patron Saint is actually the patron of Amateur Radio. Scott gives the half hour show of the events happsning in the Catholic Church for the current week with a little look forward. It has a double effect of the localism required by the FCC for our Non Commercial Educational (NCE) broadcast license. Kolbe Konnection Events Kalendar is produced locally for KMMK and it is about local things happening, ex., Mass shedules, fish fries during Lent.

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 $129k to $196k (+52%).
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.
51% of PLUS Charities’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $5k → $23.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 PLUS Charities’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
PLUS Charities leans on a few funders — its largest provides 98% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 PLUS Charities.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of PLUS Charities'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k 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.
