Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During the year Wilson Interfaith launched a new health initiative called Eat Healthy Move More. Thirty families were selected from our current client base to enroll and signed a participation covenant committing to weekly engagement. The program was delivered in partnership with Barton College Wilson Community College Health Sciences and the County Extension Agency. Families participated in alternating weekly nutrition classes healthy cooking courses recipe development and guided exercise opportunities. Each household received a pedometer at enrollment and a 20 lb box of fresh produce each week along with encouragement to prepare meals using the healthy recipes taught in class. Participants tracked weight steps and BMI weekly to support progress toward healthier eating increased physical activity and improved overall wellness. Additionally Wilson Interfaith developed partnerships with three local farmers to supply the fresh produce used in the program. These relationships strengthened the quality of the food provided and supported the long-term sustainability of the initiative.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. Wilson Interfaith advances its core values by operating a 20-bed Mens Shelter and a 10-bed Family Shelter Westview House. In 2024-2025 we provided 6,704 nights of safe shelter to 93 men including 11 veterans and 23 families totaling 59 adults and 23 children. Residents received individualized support with employment education affordable housing searches and access to mental health or substance use recovery services. Wilson Interfaith also provided financial assistance for rent utilities and medical needs to help stabilize households during crisis. Through Rapid Rehousing we assisted 44 households 85 individuals in moving from homelessness to stable housing. Through Homelessness Prevention we helped 20 households 44 individuals avoid entering the shelter system. These combined efforts reduced immediate hardship and strengthened long-term housing stability for individuals and families across our community.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $766k to $1.1M (+39%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $57k → $91k.
7 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% 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 Wilson County Interfaith Services Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 15 of 16 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
Wilson County Interfaith Services Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
76% 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 Wilson County Interfaith Services Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 87% · 2018 77% · 2019 54% · 2020 44% · 2021 33% · 2022 31% · 2023 45% — 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 Wilson County Interfaith Services Inc'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
83% of Wilson County Interfaith Services Inc's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $333k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
