Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Effective october 1, 2024, terros completed the acquisition of lifewell, a nonprofit integrated healthcare agency providing treatment, services, and support to low-income individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness, general mental health conditions, and substance use disorders. Lifewell operates residential, outpatient, and community-based programs designed to address a broad range of client needs. As part of the transaction, lifewell transferred substantially all of the clinical and non-clinical assets related to its business and operations to terros. As part of the acquisition, lifewell was reorganized as a non-profit corporation with members under arizona law, and terros became the sole member of lifewell at closing. Additionally, terros assumed control over lifewell's wholly owned subsidiaries, desert esperanza, inc., desert sol, inc., and triple r community housing 1, inc. Which are included on schedule r.

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 2024 to 2025, from $65M to $93M (+44%).
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 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 1% · 2020 7% · 2021 12% · 2022 15% · 2023 15% · 2024 15% · 2025 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
12% of TERROS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (3% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $5k → $63k.
2 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 TERROS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 10 of 12 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
TERROS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 TERROS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 50% · 2020 42% · 2021 77% · 2022 83% · 2023 85% — 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
43% of TERROS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
99% of TERROS INC's grant income comes from Arizona funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
