What Servantworks Inc does
Mission
Servantworks challenges people to live radically like Jesus, by beginning ministries of service and sacrifice following His example, in order to transform families and communities. Our current focus has us serving hurting people in Thailand and SE Asia.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The ministry of The Well and the Coffee shop counseling services were moved to a partnering house church during 2024 with the Pastor known as "Addy" (MD Wheaton University) being the manager of these services. He expanded trainings made available to include Leadership Development programs with young adults. As the church has grown so have the scope and size of those services rendered.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The project known as NARIMON which provided skill development opportunities for at risk women was fully moved to the Naree project under the directorship of Kirati Sutter with oversight from our Field Director, Jim Larson. The scope of this project was greatly reduced from previous years due to personnel limitations. Four or five women were trained in purse making and marketing to locals. A few young at risk men were introduced to carpentry skill development as well as agrarian skills related to tree farming late in 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The WELL Program- Displays the love of Jesus to the broken, oppressed and poor of Thailand through material, relational and spiritual rehabilitation. Prostitution rescue in Thailand through the Well Program displays the love of Jesus to men, women and their families involved in the Thai sex industry through rescue and rehabilitation services that provide food, clothing, housing, addiction recovery and emotional healing through counseling, career education & training and spiritual development. Many of these services were delivered at the Coffee Shop community ministry that began in 2019 and has grown during 2024. The addition of Pastor Addy, through the Glass of Cold Water house church has greatly enhanced the outreach to younger adults.
$103,625 spentof which $103,625 as grants52% of program spendingNarimon Program/Community Center Bangkok- Provides women who have left the Thai sex industry a way to earn income while maintaining their dignity. This program provides alternative income-producing opportunities for women and girls who either once were forced to sell their dignity or are at high risk for doing so. The scale of this program was greatly reduced in 2024 to include a few women creating handmade products that they could be proud of. The products (mostly scarves) are sold primarily in the United States in conjunction with public awareness programs that encourage prayers and local law enforcement action against the Thai sex trade. The shift in product emphasis from jewelry towards scarves, convenience snack food products sold locally begun during 2018 has continued during 2024. The primary local sales venue is the Coffee Shop ministry site. Use of this easily accessed ground floor site has led to growth in both the coffee shop and a spiritual outreach through Glass of Cold Water house church.

These various projects offer a broad spectrum of assistance to help at risk youth to turn from the typical journey towards the sex trade and to focus on education and careers that uplift the human spirit and allow for spiritual growth.
$25,903 spentof which $25,903 as grants13% of program spendingPreviously a pilot program of The Well, the NAREE Sewing Project administered by Karati Sutter became an full time training enterprise during 2017 under the general oversight of our Field Director, Jim Larson. This expanding effort is currently managed and conducted by Servantworks associates under the name of NAREE within Thailand. At risk women and girls are offered training in sewing skills and provided a workshop with the tools necessary to hone seamstress skills in preparation for entering the mainstream workforce in Bangkok. This ministry continues to draw candidates away from the sex trade and into productive and respectable lifestyles. In 2023 a focus on men doing carpentry was added and tree farming was added during 2024.

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 2023 to 2024, from $79k to $14k (−83%).
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 SERVANTWORKS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 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 broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $25k → $25k.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 74% 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 SERVANTWORKS 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
SERVANTWORKS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
74% 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 SERVANTWORKS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 75% · 2020 55% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 40% — 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
74% of SERVANTWORKS 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 $56k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $156k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
SERVANTWORKS INC's revenue fell 38% between 2017 and 2024.
