  1. Residential Programs (Emergency Shelter, Peace Village Apartments, Scattered Site Housing)The Spring exists to keep victims of domestic violence safe. Our emergency residential shelter consists of 24 bedrooms with 128 beds, plus a full-service dining hall and a large multipurpose room for groups/classes, all designed to provide a home-like refuge for adults & children in danger. In FY24/25, The Spring provided safe emergency shelter to 806 people (379 adults & 427 children). Continued on Schedule O. From our shelter, we operate a 24/7 crisis hotline to answer questions, provide safety planning, and connect victims to services with us & other community partners. Last year we answered 5,157 crisis calls on this hotline (8,582 calls in total) and 18 text/chat inquiries from survivors. At the shelter, resident children from 6 weeks old through 5th grade have access to onsite kids' programs in our school complex, including daycare for infants/toddlers/preschoolers, an elementary school run by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS), and kids of all ages have access to afterschool educational groups & activities run by our children's advocates.

Using two locations in Tampa and Plant City, and with generous support from the Children's Board of Hillsborough County and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, we provide safety planning, support groups, referrals for services, supportive and educational counseling, and advocacy on their behalf. Continued on Schedule O.In partnership with the Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Hillsborough County Bar Foundation, deputized outreach advocates assist with filing injunctions for protection from the safety of our outreach office, and last year assisted survivors in filing 40 injunctions, 80% of which were temporarily granted by a judge. Additionally, two specialized advocates work with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Tampa Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies to increase victim safety in potentially lethal cases and two specialized advocates are co-located with child protection investigations and child welfare case…

Since then we have continued adding attorneys and now employ seven full time attorneys in Hillsborough County, licensed by the Florida Bar, who provide legal assistance & representation, completely free of charge regardless of income, to survivors of domestic violence who want to obtain an injunction for protection from the court as a means to increase safety from their abusers, or desire representation in dependency court to advocate for the best interests of their children.

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 19 funders to 40 funders, grant income fell $1.5M → $1.2M.

15 of 85 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 SPRING OF TAMPA BAY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 85 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 SPRING OF TAMPA BAY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

88% 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 SPRING OF TAMPA BAY INC.

53% of THE SPRING OF TAMPA BAY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
