What The Fellowship of Ailbe does
Mission
The Fellowship of Ailbe is a ministry to pastors and church leaders whose focus is on encouraging men to grow in the grace of the lord, and equipping them for more effective leadership in their churches.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
During 2025, the ministry of The Fellowship of Ailbe reached into more than 180 countries, through daily and weekly web columns, free downloadable resources, opportunities for online training, and a bookstore. We continue mentoring and training pastors and other church leaders through reading groups, written materials of various kinds, and mentoring. Our membership continues to grow, and we are developing a variety of projects with our members to continue serving the people who visit our website. We also sponsor regular prayer groups for men from around the country. In 2025 we published four new books. Our four podcasts became more intermittent, and we are reviewing their value. Our board meets twice a year to review our work, and they are very much an active part of the minisry of the fellowship of the ailbe. We have also begun taking steps and making preparations to help ensure that the ministry of The Fellowship of Ailbe will continue beyond the present generation of board and brothers.

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 2019 to 2020, from $30k to $10k (−66%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $9k → $88.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% 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 THE FELLOWSHIP OF AILBE’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
THE FELLOWSHIP OF AILBE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% 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
61% 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 THE FELLOWSHIP OF AILBE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 87% · 2018 66% · 2019 40% · 2020 84% · 2021 50% · 2022 55% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
THE FELLOWSHIP OF AILBE draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Vermont, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k 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.
