What ServeNow does
Mission
Sharing Christ's passion for the world by serving the most vulnerable through national churches and leaders.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
Equipping the Church - ServeNow actively partners with churches, pastors, and leaders in 30+ countries worldwide. Most of these are in poorer, remote, slum-like areas where training and access to resources is limited or non-existent. ServeNow provides these churches and leaders with bibles, scripture resources, and training in a series of discipleship and leadership material, so they can systematically instruct their congregations. In the last fiscal year, we partnered with 24,680 churches. 393,253 Basic Series books were printed, with 549,773 being distributed within the same fiscal year. 57,338 bibles and other Scripture resources were also distributed. 43 indigenous missionaries were provided support. 180 leaders graduated from our Basic Series Leadership program. 877 pastor conferences were held. 179 bicycles for pastors with no other means of transportation were given out. Primarily through a video program called The Road to Paradise, but also through other online efforts, we reached 59,009,486 with the Gospel message. We saw 14,176 people come to faith in Jesus.

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 2024 to 2025, from $1.3M to $5.4M (+314%).
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 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 5% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of ServeNow’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 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 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $111k → $1.6M.
13 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 82% 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 ServeNow’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
ServeNow leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
84% 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 ServeNow.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 54% · 2019 92% · 2020 56% · 2021 85% · 2022 68% · 2023 65% — 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
50% of ServeNow's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
82% of ServeNow'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 $1.4M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
