What Saranam LLC does
Mission
To empower families to end their homelessness and poverty through housing, education, and supportive communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
During 2025, saranam continued its mission of ending homelessness and poverty for families through housing, education, and supportive community. After 22 years of service, saranam remains committed to its two- generational approach, helping both parents and children build the skills, education, and stability necessary for long-term self-sufficiency. A significant milestone in 2025 was the expansion of services through the continued occupancy of the adc family campus. With the opening of the remaining residential units on the campus, saranam increased its capacity to serve 43 families simultaneously across its two campuses, representing 134 individuals, including 45 parents and 89 children. This expansion more than doubled the organization's long-term service capacity and marked a major step forward in meeting the growing need for family housing and educational support in albuquerque. Throughout the year, saranam welcomed 20 new families into the program and celebrated the successful graduation of 9 out of 10 families exiting the program. Since its founding in 2004, saranam has served 211 families and continues to demonstrate strong outcomes, with 77% of participating families…

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 2020 to 2021, from $1.7M to $7.4M (+336%).
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: 2023 0% · 2024 23% · 2025 35%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of SARANAM LLC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 21 funders, grant income rose $124k → $2.9M.
10 of 39 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% 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 SARANAM LLC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 39 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
SARANAM LLC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
53% 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 SARANAM LLC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 32% · 2019 40% · 2020 24% · 2021 44% · 2022 47% · 2023 75% — growing more concentrated.
“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
67% of SARANAM LLC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
53% of SARANAM LLC'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 $4.0M that is directly attributable, 75% of it comes from funders outside New Mexico, across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
