What Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship does
Mission
As part of god's mission to the world, frontier fellowship invites believing communities to engage people groups where the good news of jesus and his kingdom is not yet known.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Frontier fellowship acts on the conviction that introducing people to the good news of jesus brings spiritual and social flourishing and cultivates faith within individuals lacking access to the gospel. Staff and board members mobilize churches and mission groups by preaching, teaching, consulting, networking and leading short-term vision trips to serve alongside indigenous partners. The national office provides resources such as a bi-annual magazine (sent to 8,500+ subscribers), monthly email updates (sent to 3,800+ subscribers), a blog and various other digital and print materials. In the last fiscal year, frontier fellowship raised $555,846.00 to support projects focused on frontier mission. Frontier fellowship is currently working to expand our team and widen our networks in order to mobilize more churches. We are also going deeper in our learning relationships with key global partners, in order to go farther in our reach to new frontier peoples and regions.

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 2020 to 2021, from $5.7M to $6.9M (+21%).
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.
79% of PRESBYTERIAN FRONTIER FELLOWSHIP’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $50k → $403k.
12 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 77% 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 PRESBYTERIAN FRONTIER FELLOWSHIP’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 31 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
PRESBYTERIAN FRONTIER FELLOWSHIP has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
77% 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 PRESBYTERIAN FRONTIER FELLOWSHIP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 29% · 2019 24% · 2020 34% · 2021 33% · 2022 41% · 2023 25% — 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
55% of PRESBYTERIAN FRONTIER FELLOWSHIP's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 81% 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
77% of PRESBYTERIAN FRONTIER FELLOWSHIP'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. Of the $507k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Minnesota, across 12 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
