What The Mission Project Inc does
Mission
The mission project, inc. Enables capable adults with developmental disabilities to live independently and safely in community with individualized support.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Transportation is provided for all participants, 22 in 2025. These services provide rides to and from work with 7,610 rides provided in 2025 around the kc area. These rides allow participants to arrive at work on time (5 minutes before shift) and to be picked up after their shift and delivered home safely. We have a 99.6% rate of delivering participants to work on time which increases their ability to continue working. Due to the nature of their disabilities, participants have trouble using public transportation and either do not want to or cannot drive their own vehicles.
$69,000 spent24% of program spendingCore programming is one of the larger budget areas where we apply our grants and donations. The mission project holds problem solvers and community strong groups on a weekly and bi-weekly basis. These groups use ot and mental health-based practices to help provide tools and support to the participants for independent living. In addition, one-on-one services are provided for participants who are struggling with certain things. This could be anything from managing their daily schedule to grocery shopping to hygiene. Ot based services look for tools or inventive ways to help the participants manage their daily lives.
$207,395 spent$287,552 earned by the program72% of program spendingFitness and nutrition are also areas that we often use for grant seeking or donations. Due to the nature of intellectual and developmental disabilities, participants often have secondary diagnoses and develop issues as they age (much quicker than the regular population). They have higher rates of risk for heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, anxiety, etc.) because of this, it is important that they learn about having a healthy lifestyle with fitness and nutrition, the mission project partners with move right quarterly to determine level of fitness and health for comparisons. The participants have all been very adamant about participating in this program and we have seen positive changes for each participant. Everyone has made a marked increase in functional movement that allows them to perform every day tasks and be healthier overall.

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 $594k to $752k (+27%).
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.
65% of THE MISSION PROJECT INC’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. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $20k → $73k.
10 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% 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 PROJECT 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 PROJECT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 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 MISSION PROJECT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 49% · 2018 34% · 2019 34% · 2020 19% · 2021 41% · 2022 36% · 2023 28% — 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
47% of THE MISSION PROJECT INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
54% of THE MISSION PROJECT 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 $337k that is directly attributable, 52% of it comes from funders outside Kansas, across 8 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $392k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
