What The McShin Foundation does
Mission
The mission of The McShin Foundation is to deliver a message of hope to individuals with substance use disorders, and to facilitate their journey to a healthier life. Since its inception in 2004, The McShin Foundation has provided intervention and recovery services, housing services, community resource collaborative services, recovery education and advocacy, and a speaker series. The McShin Foundation was established both by and for the recovery community to promote strengths-based healing, utilizing evidence-based practices.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The McShin Foundation has the ability to provide same day access to authentic peer recovery support services, as well as linkage to clinical services including detox, psychiatric evaluation, addiction consultations, individual therapy, and substance abuse counseling. Because of the nature of substance use disorders, access to immediate services is imperative to the recovery process.the residential component of mcshin's recovery program is often the most essential aspect of the recovery process. The recovery housing program for participants allows for structure, focus, and a sense of community to be constant elements of recovery. For current and prospective participants, the need for safe housing is crucial, especially as the most commonly served populations at mcshin foundation are individuals reentering society from incarceration or institutionalization, recovery-resistant individuals with a history of relapse, and individuals seeking aftercare for treatment centers. Additionally, access to recovery housing is paramount for an individual's first thirty days of recovery as it is during this critical period when the greatest inroads are made into building a recovery foundation. 210…

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 2023 to 2024, from $2.3M to $4.9M (+109%).
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 2% · 2018 3% · 2019 9% · 2020 9% · 2021 15% · 2023 22% · 2024 27% · 2025 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
45% of THE MCSHIN FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 13 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $54k → $783k.
9 of 46 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% 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 MCSHIN FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 46 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
THE MCSHIN FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 MCSHIN FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 21% · 2019 75% · 2020 17% · 2021 80% · 2022 82% · 2023 83% — 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
39% of THE MCSHIN FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 74% 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
90% of THE MCSHIN FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
