What A Mothers Rest Charitable Respite Foundation does
Mission
Through essential rest & therapeutic fellowship, AMRs national network of year-round respite retreat partners strengthens special needs families, and improves the health of parents & caregivers.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
This program is called our Porch Partners. It continues to be a success, as new partners come on and existing partners expand the number of weekends they offer to host. AMR acts as a third party booking service, and all funds received from guests are paid to the innkeepers directly (minus $15 for our General Fund to cover administrative and Paypal fees incurred). Our Signature Mommy & Me event at Jekyll Island Club Hotel hosted DOUBLE the families as last year. Our Porchpartner in Ocean City, NJ, The Scarborough Inn, who hosts upwards of (10) retreats a year for our caregivers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast has become a major staple in our offerings. In addition, AMR opened an office in SC and is...now also a certified charity in that state. Our General Fund is in urgent need of financial support, and we are still in the red for 2024. Major community-funded campaigns and additional grant writing opportunities were unsuccessful in 2024.
$216,466 spent$227,093 earned by the program56% of program spendingSince December 2020, Lawton Place Manor Respite Inn in Mt. Airy, GA has been filled every weekend, with an average of (10) weary caregivers on the wait list. By year-end 2024, LPM has hosted nearly 1700 caregiver moms, dads, spouses, and couples. As in years past, the majority of our funding comes from guest donations, recurring gifts, private donations, and group event sponsorship. We have yet to be awarded any community foundation or corporate grants to support this location. Lawton Place Manor remains a lifeline of hope for thousands of special needs parent and cargivers throughout the Southeast region. New fundraising efforts are underway to expand annual room sponsorship and legacy giving campaigns, and to further engage community support from churches, businesses, and local civic organizations. Our major donors have moved on to support other projects, and so we much shift without further burdening our guests. The minimum $75 donation we request still... ...only supports 25% of our monthly expenses. We had to raise our guest donations to $75, but this only covers 25% of our monthly expenses.

$68,384 spent$83,278 earned by the program18% of program spendingIn 2024, A Mothers Rest took tangible steps forward in the planning of a third inn in the Midlands of South Carolina. After a year of searching for a suitable historic home and property that would fit our model, the decision was made to begin a capital campaign to custom design and build a Queen Anne-Low Country style respite campus, with 10-15 private guest suites, an exercise room, private pool and hot tub, sauna, tavern, and natural wellness center. Unique beds and furnishings were purchased to bring this inn to life, and build around these welcoming pieces.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2019 to 2020, from $676k to $1.3M (+96%).
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.
59% of A Mothers Rest Charitable Respite Foundation’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

6 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 Mothers Rest Charitable Respite 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 Mothers Rest Charitable Respite Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
56% 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 Mothers Rest Charitable Respite Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 64% · 2020 97% · 2021 75% · 2022 40% · 2023 54% — 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
40% of A Mothers Rest Charitable Respite Foundation's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% 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
56% of A Mothers Rest Charitable Respite 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 $130k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside South Carolina, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $164k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
