What Prince of Peace Center does
Mission
Our purpose is to provide support for the economic, emotional and spiritual needs of those needing a helping hand to build self-sufficiency. Our services are committed to strengthening families, building community and reducing poverty among people of all races, faiths, ages, and backgrounds. Our activities include a thrift store, soup kitchen, emergency assistance, food program, temporary housing for single parents with children, and training programs in health, family and financial managment, and computer basics.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
An emergency services program provides assistance to those in need in the areas of utilities, rent, medical, and other necessities through limited monetary amounts paid directly to vendors. This program also sponsors an educational service known as "awesome" that provides a cash payment of up to $250 for any school expense selected by students after completing courses that foster health, nutrition, finance, or family management skills. Payments are made directly to vendors chosen by the client. Approximately 500 people were served by this program during 2023.
$111,176 spent22% of program spendingThe "hope" (help and opportunity for personal empowerment) advocacy program is a part of the center's family support services which provides long-term support for clients who live in established homes. This program teaches basic life skills necessary for self-sufficiency and family stability through intensive case management and monthly support groups. Individuals or families struggling with the effects of poverty are eligible providing they are committed to making a change in their lives while residing in mercer county. The "hope" program provided support to 25 individuals during 2023.
$77,596 spent15% of program spendingThe mission thrift store has been a part of Prince of Peace Center since its founding with the goal of providing essentials to anyone in need in the community at a very low cost. All of the items for sale in the store have been donated and all items that are unable to be sold are donated to global thrift which provides donated clothes and shoes to impoverished areas of other countries. Through the store, the center fulfills an essential part of their mission: allowing the community one more outlet through which its people can help each other. Any money made from store sales goes directly into other prince of peace programs to support funding.
$60,198 spent12% of program spendingOther special programs the center offers are a working wardrobe program, a soup kitchen, an initiative for young fathers, an initiative for young mothers in poverty, and other special programs.
$157,400 spent31% of program spendingThe food program provides monthly bags of food to individuals and families enrolled in the center's program. Enrollment includes an average of 210 households numbering 350 individuals. Included are 148 elderly and disabled residents spread over nine elderly housing locations in the shenango valley. While the majority of enrollees are able to come to the center on food day, the center utilizes two part-time staff members and a box truck for making deliveries to the elderly and disabled, as well as a full time person for handling and accounting for food brought from the community food warehouse by our truck for distributions. Salaries, vehicle expense, and administrative costs make up the majority of costs to operate the program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $1.0M to $1.1M (+7%).
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: 2019 6% · 2020 23% · 2021 22% · 2022 7% · 2023 6% · 2024 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Leadership and staff
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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 14 funders, grant income rose $42k → $242k.
3 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
PRINCE OF PEACE CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 61%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 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 PRINCE OF PEACE CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 78% · 2018 86% · 2019 55% · 2020 38% · 2021 36% · 2022 34% · 2023 33% — 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
54% of PRINCE OF PEACE CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% 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
83% of PRINCE OF PEACE CENTER's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $332k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
