What Visionsynergy does
Mission
Our mission is to accelerate the great commission by equipping leaders, developing networks, and catalyzing collaboration toward spiritual breakthroughs among the least reached peoples and places of the world.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Developing networkswe coach and advise christian network leaders to facilitate multi-organizational collaboration for exponential kingdom impact. In fy2025, Visionsynergy's ministry expanded into 15 countries, resulting in the launch of 69 new networks across east asia, south asia, the middle east/north africa, and west africa. We hosted our first synergy summits in japan, mongolia, burkina faso, and southern nigeria, and facilitated six synergy catalyst program (scp) cohorts - the most in a single year. Translation efforts continued, enabling scp delivery in multiple languages and expanding access to high-security and remote regions. Together, these initiatives are increasing alignment among ministries, mobilizing resources, and accelerating collaborative strategies to reach unreached people groups.

In fy2025, we trained 3,864 leaders, coached 626 network leaders, and served 229 networks globally. We also equipped synergy catalyst program graduates to serve as coaches, strengthening local ownership and long-term sustainability. To meet growing global demand, we made substantial progress on developing a new online learning management system to expand multi-language access and support a blended learning model that enhances scalability and replication.

In fy2025, our partnership with the lausanne movement continued through the ministry collaboration network, connecting over 2,300 leaders worldwide. Through quarterly calls and four-week collaboration cohorts, 138 leaders from 34 countries explored strategies for addressing mission challenges through shared resources and joint initiatives. To strengthen access to collaboration tools globally, we expanded our publishing, translation, and digital resource efforts. This included the launch of a redesigned organization website featuring free collaboration resources, improved content accessibility, and increased visibility among trusted global mission leaders.

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 2017 to 2018, from $925k to $481k (−48%).
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 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of VISIONSYNERGY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $860k → $928k.
12 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% 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 VISIONSYNERGY’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
VISIONSYNERGY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
77% 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 VISIONSYNERGY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 46% · 2019 91% · 2020 71% · 2021 45% · 2022 20% · 2023 53% — 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
67% of VISIONSYNERGY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% 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
70% of VISIONSYNERGY'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 $1.9M that is directly attributable, 91% of it comes from funders outside Washington, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
