What A Friends House Inc does
Mission
A friends house believes that all children warrant a loving, caring, and safe environment, no matter what circumstances they have encountered in life. The mission is to provide a home that addresses the physical and emotional needs of the children we serve in our community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The purpose of a friends house, inc. Is to provide and operate a home for the communitys children in need. This home will operate in compliance with the state laws and regulations. It provides a 24 hour, seven day a week child care agency for abused, neglected, and abandoned children who are in the custody of the department of children and family services or the department of juvenile justice. All children receive medical and dental care, therapy and counseling, as well as academic and school support. The shelter also provides for therapeutic activity programs, swimming lessons, arts and crafts, sports and games, music and drama. The programs are designed around at-risk behaviors, stress management, grief and abandonment issues, and coping skills. The shelter can accommodate up to 24 children and primarily serves teenagers. Residents stay for an unspecified length of time while a best course of action is determined based on assessment of needs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $2.5M to $1.9M (−24%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 62% · 2019 59% · 2020 64% · 2021 60% · 2022 70% · 2023 73% · 2024 76% · 2025 69%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of A FRIENDS HOUSE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 9 funders, grant income fell $84k → $68k.
4 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 FRIENDS HOUSE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 23 of 24 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
A FRIENDS HOUSE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 61%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
29% 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 FRIENDS HOUSE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 40% · 2019 69% · 2020 37% · 2021 51% · 2022 59% · 2023 59% — growing more concentrated.
“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
33% of A FRIENDS HOUSE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
66% of A FRIENDS HOUSE INC's grant income comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $80k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
