Mission
In partnership with communities impacted by the opioid crisis, we provide life-saving resources through advocacy, education and prevention.

Programs
Overdose Prevention: Steve Rummler HOPE Network is one of Minnesota's top naloxone distributors, providing free Overdose Response kits with three doses of IM naloxone and all the necessary supplies to safely administer it. Our innovative Naloxone Access Point (NAP) program has expanded access to this life-saving medication across the state since 2020. We offer free overdose response training in-person, via live webinars, and through a self-guided online course, teaching people to recognize and respond to overdoses. Additionally, we distribute free fentanyl and xylazine test strips along with educational resources to promote safer use and prevent overdose deaths.

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 2017 to 2018, from $256k to $3.8M (+1366%).
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: 2017 8% · 2018 3% · 2019 25% · 2020 59% · 2021 49% · 2022 60% · 2023 58% · 2024 51% · 2025 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

7 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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 Steve Rummler Hope Network’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 20 of 21 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
Steve Rummler Hope Network leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 Steve Rummler Hope Network.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 58% · 2018 28% · 2019 96% · 2020 93% · 2021 92% · 2022 60% · 2023 71% — 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
21% of Steve Rummler Hope Network's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% 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
73% of Steve Rummler Hope Network'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 $122k that is directly attributable, 71% of it comes from funders outside Minnesota, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $323k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
