The register as it stands
Close: What remains is the shelf the headline articles did not take, printed at register size so the count at the head of this section can be checked against its parts. The county's animal shelter is Mishawaka-seated: the Humane Society of St. Joseph County Indiana Inc (ruling 1955), of 2506 Grape Road, reports assets of $3,989,808 and revenue of $2,192,675 — a county institution on a Mishawaka seat, like the health systems in miniature. Bethel University Inc (ruling October 1948) holds assets of $46,093,957 and revenue of $41,972,799, and no separate Bethel foundation appears anywhere in the register: the university's endowment is held inside the university, and the schools and founders files own the institution. The Mishawaka Historical Museum Corp (ruling 2016) stands at assets of $310,410, a pointer to the museums file. The register's strangest single line is a group-exemption artifact, explained here so no reader mistakes it: the row reading "Habitat for Humanity International Inc" at 524 East McKinley Avenue is the St. Joseph County affiliate filing under its parent's name, number, and group exemption — the affiliate's own Mishawaka seat and course stand in the charities file, including its October 2024 headquarters groundbreaking; the register records the parent, the ground holds the affiliate.
That is the sector whole, at the strength of the public record in November 2026: 262 corporations on Mishawaka seats; two health systems' home offices carrying nine-tenths of the reported assets; a local grantmaking layer of twenty private foundations and $129 million, most of it in four families' hands; two school foundations holding their districts' endowments in the county pool; a federated vehicle and a community foundation seated across the river, with Mishawaka's funds, campaigns, and grants documented flowing both ways; housing corporations managing the county's senior homes; and beneath them the long tail the register barely sees — congregations on group rulings, posts and lodges on parent exemptions, and small corporations whose whole annual filing is a postcard. The services those structures pay for stand in the charities file. The structures themselves stand here.
