What Serenelli Project Inc does
Mission
To rebuild, repair, and restore lives, through christ.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Completed renovations on the first community house. We launched serenelli industries, our social enterprizes company whose mission is to employ, mentor, and train the formerly incarcerated as well as to provide means of financial self-sustainability for the mission of serenelli project. We began the development of one of our vacant lots to transform it into a flower garden for the community. We spread the message and mission of serenelli project in the prisons in which we serve by sponsoring a series of uplifting concerts performed by eric genuis for the inmates. Began written correspondence with future candidates for serenelli residential community as part of re-entry mentorship program.

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 2023 to 2024, from $300k to $486k (+62%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $40k → $256.
7 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 86% 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 SERENELLI PROJECT 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
SERENELLI PROJECT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% 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
86% 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 SERENELLI PROJECT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 83% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
86% of SERENELLI PROJECT 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 $27k that is directly attributable, 82% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $162k 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.
