Programs
Equipping Churches (EC)Our largest program, Equipping Churches, includes:-the Truth Centered Transformation (TCT)a discipleship program for churches, which teaches Christians to bring all areas of life into alignment with biblical truth and to serve their communities with loving actions. The goals of the program are to see churches strengthened, communities move out of poverty, and God glorified. In FY 2025, 15 partners, totalling about 10,000 churches, graduated from the TCT program; 25 new partners completed onboarding.-Celebration & Learningthis is our monitoring and evaluation structure to measure progress of churches and communities who are participating in TCT. In FY 2025, we designed two new evaluation tools and trained 21 country-level and regional leaders in how to use them. -IntercessionWe provide training and networking support for people who want to think and pray about poverty and social justice issues in their country. In FY 2025, we did from one to eight trainings (depending on area and language) with more than 60 volunteers in Africa alone and about 20 more in Asia. Congo and Benin groups are now meeting weekly.

Our partners want to incorporate RWIs core principles into their work. Beyond that, small organizations often feel isolated; ministry leaders too often face overwhelming needs with very limited resources and little spiritual, emotional, and professional support. We come alongside local leaders to fill that gap. We also assess each partners progress in aligning with RWIs core principles, effectiveness in programming, and readiness to share tools with others. As a result of these evaluations, recommendations are made for strengthening programs and strategies. Our current partnered programs include Ashish, Wholistic Development Centre, and Create Commission.

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 2022 to 2023, from $630k to $1.5M (+144%).
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.
100% of RECONCILED WORLD INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (90% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $418k → $722k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 65% 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 RECONCILED WORLD INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
RECONCILED WORLD INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 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 RECONCILED WORLD INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 99% · 2018 92% · 2019 70% · 2020 54% · 2021 44% · 2022 84% · 2023 64% — 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
50% of RECONCILED WORLD INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 80% 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
65% of RECONCILED WORLD 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 $1.4M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Illinois, across 5 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.6M 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.
