What Promised Land Living does
Mission
Promised Land Living serves to help christians achieve abundant lives, breakthrough personal transformation and visible growth that is sustainable.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The small group journey (cohort) remains the core product of Promised Land Living. The number of cohorts that ran in 2025 decreased from 16 to 15, averaging 6 attendees in each. Each cohort runs 12-13 weeks, with a majority meeting virtually bi-weekly or weekly. Men meet with men. Women meet with women. There was not a marriage cohort in 2025. Participants leave with the following: 1.naming of one personal lie that has ruled and robbed and blocked the abundant life in christ and a method (and training in that method) by which to shift into the truth that restores that abundant life. 2.naming of a "heartland phrase" that calls out the fearfully and wonderfully made design of each participant, with training on how to live from that truth. 3.training in how to experience and represent oneself in a safe and sacred community, strengthening and integrating the soul, preparing it for service post journey.
$129,903 spentof which $940 as grants$1,255 earned by the program59% of program spendingPromised Land Living changed the vernacular from coach presenter to discipleship coaches (dcs) to reflect the actual role of the facilitator in the journey. Aligning the website and marketing materials became part of that project. The development of the dc pipeline, the customer of Promised Land Living, grew as follows: 1.we increased the bench of dcs from 36 to 43 by the end of the year, with 3 dcs choosing not to renew their license for 2026. Our goal is an 80% retention rate; we had a 93% retention rate in 2025. 2.the dc annual in-person conference was attended by 75% of our dcs. 3.our quarterly trainings had sluggish attendance in 2025, and we have modified the design and licensing agreement to ensure stronger engagement in 2026. 4.our drop in cohorts was due primarily to reliance on others recruiting for cohorts. A new initiative called community workspace was created to support dcs in recruiting directly for their own cohorts. We anticipate seeing a jump in the number of fulfilled cohorts as a result of that and other initiatives to support the successful launching of groups.

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 2023 to 2024, from $143k to $233k (+63%).
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.
96% of PROMISED LAND LIVING’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $70k → $44k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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
PROMISED LAND LIVING leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
70% 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 PROMISED LAND LIVING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 71% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
50% of PROMISED LAND LIVING's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 50% 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
56% of PROMISED LAND LIVING'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 $162k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $207k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
