What The Prop Shop of Eden Prairie does
Mission
The prop shop's mission is to provide basic support for families in need through volunteers, community, and other organizations. It provides free clothing, household goods, and furniture to low-income families.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The prop shop maintains a family services area to provide local families with clothing, household goods, and furniture free of charge. It is stocked by donations from the community, and volunteers work to make sure families' needs are met. Clients access a section of the prop shop's facility for free clothing and household goods. To meet furniture needs, the prop shop maintains a list of furniture requests, which are matched as donations arrive. The prop shop has helped more than 3,900 families through its family services programs since it first opened in 2007. In 2025, the prop shop helped 805 families in its family services room. It provided 13,280 bags filled with clothing and household goods, 253 beds, 56 couches/loveseats, 138 dressers, and 75 table & chair sets.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $2.0M to $2.1M (+6%).
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: 2020 6% · 2021 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
92% 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 PROP SHOP OF EDEN PRAIRIE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 60% · 2018 46% · 2019 76% · 2020 33% · 2021 34% · 2022 32% · 2023 38% — 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
50% of THE PROP SHOP OF EDEN PRAIRIE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
83% of THE PROP SHOP OF EDEN PRAIRIE'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 $136k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from funders outside Minnesota, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $673k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
