What The Woman's Exchange of St Louis does
Mission
Helping others help themselves by providing training and income opportunities to individuals meeting eligibility requirements.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
The woman's exchange is dedicated to providing income opportunities to individuals through training, resources and a marketplace. The consignment shop provides a marketplace where handcrafted goods are purchased and sold or consigned and sold. The tea room provides a place where individuals who are otherwise unemployable due to age, handicaps, lack of job skills, language or cultural barriers, or unavailability of resources can develop skills and business concepts. Members of the organization donate hours of volunteer service in support of its charitable programs.

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 $488k to $701k (+43%).
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: 2021 21% · 2022 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
19% of THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE OF ST LOUIS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (16% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
82% 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 WOMAN'S EXCHANGE OF ST LOUIS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 80% · 2019 39% · 2020 76% · 2021 58% · 2022 34% · 2023 74% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

0% of THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE OF ST LOUIS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $247k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
