One of the major goals of quest is to assist residents to become economically self-sufficient. Our supportive services staff includes case managers who work with clients to improve their employability, increase their income, help them establish benefits. All of quest's clients begin the program with no income at all or are extremely low income and fall under 100% of the federal poverty level. Residents at quest have been chronically homeless and often suffer from the co-morbid conditions of mental health and substance abuse. Nearly half of them also have some form of physical disability, and two-thirds have a chronic health condition such a diabetes or asthma. Most are estranged from their families, have little or no source of income, and are still struggling with their addiction. They are wary of trusting others, have extremely low self-esteem, and need to re-learn simple life skills such as budgeting, personal hygiene, and basic job skills.traditional supportive housing providers adopt stringent pre-qualification criteria prior to…

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 2023 to 2024, from $34M to $78M (+130%).
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: 2018 29% · 2019 31% · 2020 18% · 2021 32% · 2022 28% · 2023 29% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $611k → $2.9M.
4 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 QUEST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 28 of 29 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
QUEST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
66% 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 QUEST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 36% · 2019 58% · 2020 64% · 2021 61% · 2022 28% · 2023 69% — 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
42% of QUEST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 66% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M 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.
