What Street Samaritans does
Mission
Street Samaritans is an illinois not for profit corporation incorporated in 2017. The purpose of the organization is to provide chicagoland's homeless population with fulfillment of their most pressing needs including food, water and supplies while making a human connection with an often dehumanized and marginalized population.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Case management: in 2024, we successfully housed 51 households through our intensive case management program, providing not just shelter but also hope, stability, and dignity to numerous individuals and families.outreach services: our dedicated street outreach efforts continued to meet people where they are, breaking down barriers to essential services and ensuring that every individual feels seen, valued, and not forgotten. We supported 6,730 people experiencing homelessness last year and connected 2,994 of them to supportive services.community engagement: through our monthly volunteer drive, we have fostered engagement between community members and the crisis of homelessness, challenging stereotypes that perpetuate homelessness while offering immediate relief to those in need. 430 volunteers joined us in 2024, allowing us to support hundreds of people living unsheltered in chicago.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $201k to $371k (+85%).
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 12% · 2024 56%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of STREET SAMARITANS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $11k → $55k.
3 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% 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 STREET SAMARITANS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 14 of 15 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
STREET SAMARITANS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
66% 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 STREET SAMARITANS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 95% · 2020 53% · 2021 46% · 2022 100% · 2023 82% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of STREET SAMARITANS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 27% 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
87% of STREET SAMARITANS's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
