What The Mission Collective Inc does
Mission
The mission collective was launched in 2014 to plant hubs of missions for north america. To accomplish this objective, we have established share-use open concept, collaborative facilities which allow community leaders of faith and business to commune around common interets and initiatves to inspire and create good works to better serve our cities. Beginning in charleston, these city centric hubs will be utilized for three distict purposes. 1. Coworking space we intend to secure strategically located open-office workspaces that can be used throughout the day for business and nonprofit leaders that we discern are having a positive impact on their cities. These facilities will be flexible, multidimensional, hybrid workspaces that will serve as incubators for leaders and foster intellectual, service and network contributions for business and nonprofit endeavors. On a practical level, these business and nonprofit participants will pay membership fees, which will help offset the costs of the

Programs
In 2014,the mission collective launched the daniel island fellowship, a new church in an urban development area of charleston. After a year of building relationships in neighborhoods and the city through various means (e.g. Outdoor services, home gatherings, prayer events and intentional days of mission), the daniel island fellowship officially launched on september 13, 2015, with great excitement. A melting pot of individuals and families originally from new york city, boston, chicago, los angeles and the carolinas, the daniel island fellowship now has 555+ regular attendees.words cannot express the healing,hope,and life-change we are seeing through this new community of faith. Effective january 1, 2020, the daniel island fellowship (renamed one fellowship) was spun off into a seperate entity. The spin-off resulted in cash, building, land and other assets being granted to the new entity.
$2,750 spent100% of program spendingThe mission collective also launched the holy city collective, a coworking and meeting space for the common good of charleston and beyond. As a coworking space, entrepreneurs and startup organizations are able to foster intellectual, service and networking contributions for charleston and other cities through this cooperative workspace. Because of its early success, the holy city collective is quickly becoming known as an incubator for good, even being asked to participate in city and regional discussions to help develop and attract young leaders for charleston's tech and manufacturing sectors. To date the collective has served 170+ organizations, more than one third of which are nonprofit organizations.
Through the meeting space element of the holy city collective, the mission collective has created a platform for nonprofit organizations in charleston and beyond to gain exposure for their distinct missions. To date many nonprofit organizations have been served in this collaborative manner. From the dream center clinic of charleston, which provides free medical care to individuals 200% at or below the national poverty line, to life resources, which provides faith-based counseling and education to kids and families struggling with addiction, divorce and more, to young life of charleston, which seeks to help charleston teens discover and explore the christian faith, we are proud to serve and catalyze these organizations through our citycentric hub of mission.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $2,750.
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 $1.6M to $76k (−95%).
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.
100% of THE MISSION COLLECTIVE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $57k → $53k.
8 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 97% 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 MISSION COLLECTIVE INC’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 MISSION COLLECTIVE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% 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
97% 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 MISSION COLLECTIVE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 88% · 2018 95% · 2019 87% · 2020 65% · 2021 78% · 2022 58% · 2023 57% — 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
29% of THE MISSION COLLECTIVE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% 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
97% of THE MISSION COLLECTIVE INC'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 $9k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside South Carolina, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $317k 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.
Against its field
THE MISSION COLLECTIVE INC runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 9,787 human services nonprofits its size.
