What Thistl does
Mission
Transgender-Competency Training for Housing Service Providers - THISTL created the training content and developed partnerships to establish a training schedule to reach all HUD funded housing providers within the St. Louis Continuum of Care. Accountability and Advocacy in Transgender Housing - THISTL worked with partners to produce a St. Louis specific housing report capturing data about discrimination against Trans people in housing systems. We also represented Trans people in roundtables with legislators and City departments. We worked to develop better processes to report discrimination. Financial Services Education and Advocacy - THISTL provided financial literacy and homebuyer education courses specifically targeting the needs of Trans and Gender-nonconforming people. Mutual Aid - THISTL provided direct support to prevent evictions for low-income families.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $82k to $84k (+2%).
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 THISTL’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (37% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $6k → $24k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% 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 THISTL’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
THISTL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
52% 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 THISTL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 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. 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.
Where its funders are
THISTL draws 81% of its grant income from funders outside Missouri, across 3 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $24k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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
THISTL has grown faster than three-quarters of the 7,828 housing & shelter nonprofits its size.
