What Reach Out Lakota Inc does
Mission
The mission of Reach Out Lakota is to assist individuals and families living in the Lakota School District (West Chester and Liberty Townships) who, due to varied circumstances, face difficulty providing adequate food and clothing for their families. We provide healthy food, critical clothing, and personal hygiene and other items to help families maintain food and clothing security, while also collaborating with community partners who are focused on addressing the root causes of hunger and long-term solutions.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Our year-round services and support provide families in need from West Chester and Liberty Townships with: fresh and shelf stable food items, gently used clothing, small household goods, and personal care items such as personal hygiene products, infant care products and cleaning supplies. In addition, Reach Out Lakota provides periodic programs focused on: School Supplies, Thanksgiving Meals, Holiday Meals, and Holiday Toys. Reach Out Lakota assisted between 966-1864 individuals each month, providing approximately 410,000 pounds of food, 100,500 articles of clothing, and 50,100 items used for personal hygiene, baby care, and household cleaning.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $1.5M to $2.2M (+44%).
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.
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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $14k → $147k.
8 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 82% 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 REACH OUT LAKOTA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 28 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
REACH OUT LAKOTA INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
84% 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 REACH OUT LAKOTA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 60% · 2018 69% · 2019 74% · 2020 40% · 2021 67% · 2022 49% · 2023 51% — 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 REACH OUT LAKOTA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
82% of REACH OUT LAKOTA 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 $171k that is directly attributable, 66% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $771k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
