What Turning Point Inc and Affiliates does
Mission
To empower individuals to strive for independence, self-sufficiency, community integration while providing them with an opportunity to move toward a more independent living situation, through shared living. Turning point develops residential programs that support the needs of developmentally and intellectually disabled individuals by promoting independence through community inclusion and support for daily life activities. Turning point began in 1971, with an annual operating budget of $50k and today, it is at just over $20m annually. We have over 30 locations that serve over 150 individuals. Our local judges are proud to praise us around the work we do with our behaviorally challenged individuals.

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 2021 to 2022, from $16M to $23M (+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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $33 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
