What Rise Community Development does
Mission
Rise partners with communities to build stronger, more equitable st. Louis area neighborhoods. We redevelop and strengthen communities by providing housing development services, capacity-building and financing, with the goal of revitalizing st. Louis neighborhoods.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Affordable and mixed-income housing/mixed-use real estate development: rise develops affordable and mixed-income housing and mixed-use properties in historically underinvested areas of the st. Louis region. We also provide affordable housing development consultant services to nonprofit and others partners engaged in community development in the st. Louis metropolitan area. The development of affordable and market-rate housing in these areas energizes the local economy, reduces crime, improves the community's quality of life and creates an atmosphere that supports the emotional and intellectual development of its children. Through this work, we aim to inspire confidence for private market forces to then follow with further investment.

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 $196k to $2.1M (+966%).
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: 2017 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 3% · 2020 24% · 2021 22% · 2023 43% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
18% of RISE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 8 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 5 funders, grant income fell $74k → $45k.
5 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 RISE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT’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
RISE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
40% 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 RISE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 70% · 2019 47% · 2020 62% · 2021 52% · 2022 34% · 2023 45% — 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
24% of RISE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT'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
51% of RISE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $209k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
