The listed appropriations included two grants of $1,000,000 and $500,000, plus an additional grant of $100,000, all designated for programs or services funded by the State of Illinois.
These appropriations represent state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.

In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $15,512,800 in total revenue.
The nonprofit listed $493,716 in contributions overall. It also reported $284,485 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.
In terms of staffing, the organization spent $574,333 on salaries and reportable employee compensation in 2024, along with $91,768 in additional non-salary compensation such as retirement benefits, housing allowances, or travel stipends.
Combined, these totaled $666,101 in staff-related costs, which equates to 4.3% of total reported revenue.
At the beginning of 2024, Glenkirk had $14,529,400 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $15,308,200, indicating a 5.4% growth in overall holdings.
However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.
Glenkirk is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.
In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.
According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
