Programs
Microchurch planting: our main purpose is to help initiate and grow microchurches reaching different groups of people in our community. In 2024, we served over 172 microchurches. Some of our microchurches are need-based and engage people in the margins. They form community around a shared calling of meeting a certain need or addressing a certain dispersed group of people. They raise their own support from outside of the underground network, inc. To pay their staff and accomplish their vision. We provide media and finance services to these microchurches.

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 2020 to 2021, from $570k to $367k (−36%).
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: 2017 87% · 2018 84% · 2019 84% · 2020 9% · 2021 9% · 2022 0% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of UNDERGROUND NETWORK INCORPORATED’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $216k → $61k.
7 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 UNDERGROUND NETWORK INCORPORATED’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 16 of 18 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
UNDERGROUND NETWORK INCORPORATED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
80% 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 UNDERGROUND NETWORK INCORPORATED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 88% · 2018 46% · 2019 100% · 2020 93% · 2021 39% · 2022 57% · 2023 83% — 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
38% of UNDERGROUND NETWORK INCORPORATED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 39% 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
72% of UNDERGROUND NETWORK INCORPORATED'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 $389k that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $988k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
