What A Child's Hope Foundation does
Mission
A Child's Hope Foundation elevates how the world cares for orphans and vulnerable children.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Serve: providing meaningful volunteer experiences and spread awareness.in 2024, we simplified our program offerings into three categories: serve, fund, and train. "serve" encompasses our service trip program and our work to spread awareness for the needs of vulnerable children around the world. We took 994 volunteers on 30 service trips. The majority of trips were held at six of our partner orphanages in mexico, with a couple of special trips to visit partners and explore new connections in kenya, uganda, and colombia. The funds raised for these trips were primarily used to purchase building materials and tools for our volunteers to repair and remodel the orphanages. We also gave grants to the homes for groceries and other identified needs.

We granted $239,759 to homes, either directly or through our deployment partners, to support children's access to therapists, tutors, caregivers, and social workers. Thanks to the additional social workers supported by our grants, 102 children were reunified with their families. We gave $45,692 in grants to fund 55 strategic initiatives, the highest priority projects identified on the improvement roadmap for helping homes provide better care to children. $132,625 in grants were given through our fiscal sponsorship program to donor-identified needs in mexico, uganda, bethlehem, and haiti; our fiscal sponsorship program brought in $5,460 in revenue from the admin support fees associated with the projects. The remaining $14,395 was granted toward the healthcare needs of children in baja, mexico.

In 2024, 118 new members joined the collective, bringing the total number of members up to 197. We hosted 47 events including 3 in-person conferences, 16 workshops, 6 town halls, and 14 roundtables.the thrive program is a process that assesses each partner home in 15 standards of care for children.

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 2020 to 2021, from $599k to $1.0M (+72%).
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.
66% of A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $32k → $748k.
9 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 80% 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 A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION’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
A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
84% 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 A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 95% · 2018 89% · 2019 64% · 2020 27% · 2021 31% · 2022 80% · 2023 76% — 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
64% of A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% 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
80% of A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION'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 $843k that is directly attributable, 83% of it comes from Utah funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
Against its field
A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 11,274 human services nonprofits its size.
