What Russian Encouragement Ministries does
Mission
Provide economic and spiritual help to impoverished areas
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Russia - Due to the continued conflict and war in which Russia was involved, we did not have any missionary travels in 2025, instead we provided funds as necessary to continue our usual activities. In Kamchatka we continued the support of the aged-out orphan children that we have supported for over 27 years. In Vladivostok we supported the local pastors and churches and provided much needed funds for supplies to go to orphanages, rehab centers and nursing homes as well as providing support for programs with the poor and lower social economic people, of which there are many these days.

Funds were given throughout the year for support of staff of the Bible teaching facility and for continued construction of such. Funds were used to feed children and provide basic school supplies and teaching materials.

Funds were provided in support of this month-long teaching seminar held in St, Petersburg. Funds were also used for pastoral support. The Belarus / Nuteki group ministered with music and street events for thousands of youths in Russian speaking countries during 2025.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $59k to $28k (−53%).
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 RUSSIAN ENCOURAGEMENT MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 RUSSIAN ENCOURAGEMENT MINISTRIES’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.
Where its funders are
100% of RUSSIAN ENCOURAGEMENT MINISTRIES'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $168k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
