What Salt and Light Leadership Training Inc does
Mission
The mission of salt and light leadership training foundation inc (sallt) is to train leaders and future leaders to be salt and light by helping them in three ways. First, by understanding god's purposefulness in calling them as leaders within their community and by helping them clarify how to best walk out that calling. Second, to help them understand that all humans possess a worldview that influences how they express their lives. As christians, our goal is for our worldview to come into conformity with that of jesus christ and thus sallt helps leaders create a biblical worldview. Third, by helping these leaders to think strategically and work in unity toward influencing their community with the love of god. Sallt helps christian leaders to fully walk out god's plan for their lives in service to their community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Approximately fifty leaders from various walks of life participate in an eight session leadership development program that increases understanding of the challenges facing their community. The vision is to cultivate perpetuating, multi-generational christian lay leadership willing to be both 'elders at the gates and 'watchmen on the wall; men and women committed to influencing the culture of their community for jesus christ. Through this program, leaders are better prepared to make a positive and lasting impact on the future of their community, and in turn, communities find themselves healthier, safer and more productive places to live.

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 2018 to 2019, from $403k to $127k (−69%).
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: 2021 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of SALT AND LIGHT LEADERSHIP TRAINING INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $130k → $431k.
5 of 6 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 SALT AND LIGHT LEADERSHIP TRAINING INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 84% · 2020 84% · 2021 49% · 2022 89% · 2023 74% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of SALT AND LIGHT LEADERSHIP TRAINING 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 $7k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Oklahoma funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.5M 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.
