Programs
The eMerging Healthy Students (eHS) program is a school-based mental health and wellness initiative serving middle school students. The program utilizes a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) to provide prevention, early intervention, and targeted services. Students participate in structured activities including mindfulness training, social-emotional learning, group counseling, and wellness education designed to improve coping skills, emotional regulation, and academic engagement. Accomplishments: During the fiscal year, the program served underserved students experiencing academic and behavioral challenges, with a focus on improving attendance, emotional resilience, and classroom engagement. Students demonstrated increased participation in wellness activities and improved social-emotional competencies as measured through program assessments and staff observations.

The clinics reduce healthcare access barriers and ensure students are prepared to attend school. Accomplishments: The program successfully connected children and families to critical healthcare services, enabling school enrollment compliance and reducing delays in attendance. The clinics also served as an entry point for families to access ongoing healthcare resources and community support services.

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 2021 to 2022, from $41k to $200k (+386%).
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: 2021 27% · 2022 16% · 2023 55% · 2024 65% · 2025 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of PROJECT LINK INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $8k → $83k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% 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 PROJECT LINK INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 8 of 9 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
PROJECT LINK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% 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 PROJECT LINK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 83% · 2021 100% · 2022 67% · 2023 49% — 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
60% of PROJECT LINK INC'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
70% of PROJECT LINK INC'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 $101k that is directly attributable, 64% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $234k 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.
Against its field
PROJECT LINK INC runs a healthier operating margin than half of the 13,062 human services nonprofits its size.
