Most nonprofits publish their finances a year late, in a filing nobody reads, after the money is already spent. We think that order is backwards. Here is what we take in, what we spend it on, and what we have not figured out yet.
Trans and disabled communities have a long, specific, well-earned distrust of organizations that raise money in their name. The pattern repeats: a fundraiser goes viral, the need is real, the money comes in, and then the accounting simply never appears. Nobody is prosecuted. The organization quietly rebrands. The people who gave feel foolish, and the people who needed the help learn one more time that asking is dangerous.
The only durable answer to that is a ledger nobody has to request. Not a annual report released eleven months late. Not a pie chart with three categories. A running account of what came in and where it went, published while it is still relevant, including the parts that are unflattering.
This is the single most important thing Bloom does that is not direct service, and it is the page we would want to read first if we were you.
The ledger tracks dollars. It does not track people. Those two commitments are not in tension — you can publish exactly how much was spent on relocation in a given month without publishing a single thing about who moved.
Bloom was founded October 17, 2025. We are inside our first full fiscal year, which means several documents that a mature nonprofit would publish here do not exist yet — not because we are withholding them, but because the filing deadlines have not arrived. We would rather say that than leave an empty section implying otherwise.
Detailed period-by-period figures and downloadable statements live on the Financial Documents page as each becomes available.
Everything below can be checked by you, through a third party, without asking us for anything.
Search EIN 39-4922713 in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search. That tool is maintained by the IRS, not by us, and it will show our current standing whatever that standing is.
Bloom Ministries is registered in Oregon and subject to the Oregon Department of Justice Charitable Activities Section. State filings are public record and searchable through the state, independent of anything we publish.
If a document you want is not on this site, request it at Contact and name it. We will either send it or tell you plainly why we cannot — and “we do not have that yet” is an answer we will give you rather than dodge.
Because one is not due yet. Bloom was founded in October 2025 and our first filing deadline has not arrived. When it is filed, it goes on the Financial Documents page the same week — not the following year.
It gets announced here, as a number, with the reasoning, before or at the time it starts. Not discovered later in a filing. A founder salary is a normal and often healthy thing for a nonprofit; hiding one is not.
Currently the organization runs on volunteer labor with the founder doing the majority of the building. As that changes, payroll appears as its own published line item.
Real ones: web hosting and infrastructure, payment processing fees taken by Stripe, insurance, state and federal filing fees, and software. We publish these rather than claim a nonprofit runs on nothing, because organizations that claim zero overhead are usually just moving it somewhere less visible.
No, not without contacting you first. If a fund were ever fully met with money remaining, directed donors would be asked before anything moved. That is the whole point of the word restricted.
This is the order we wanted: accounting first, ask second. If what you read holds up, the next relocation is funded by people who checked before they gave.
47 people were helped before we asked for a dollar. Monthly giving is what lets us say yes before the money is in hand.
