What Twelve21 Global Inc does
Mission
We engage the far-off, forgotten, abandoned people-the least of these-by building genuine trust through relationships and sharing Christs gospel of grace and great hope. We come alongside and support local churches that disciple their people, evangelize their communities, and go on mission. (Matt. 12:21, Matt. 25:40, 1 Thess. 2:8, 1 Pet. 1:13) We equip men, women, and children with a Christ-centered education, training, biblical resources, and through community health initiatives. (Eph. 4:12, Heb. 13:20-21) We empower the saints to commit their whole selves-their time, talents and skills, knowledge, resources and gifts-towards fulfilling Gods purpose for their lives. (Prov. 3:5-6, Eph. 2:10, Matt. 20:25-28)

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 2021 to 2022, from $213k to $400k (+88%).
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 7% · 2021 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Twelve21 Global Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (90% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $130k → $441k.
5 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 96% 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 Twelve21 Global Inc’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
Twelve21 Global Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 Twelve21 Global Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 99% · 2020 100% · 2021 50% · 2022 100% · 2023 58% — 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
40% of Twelve21 Global Inc's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 80% 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
96% of Twelve21 Global Inc'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 $83k that is directly attributable, 64% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
