What A Precious Child Inc does
Mission
A precious child provides children in need with opportunities and resources to empower them to achieve their full potential.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
We received funding (a $400k grant from the dept. Of labor) to start a new program called pathways. The pathways program is dedicted to equipping young individuals ages 16 - 24, with relevant experience to prepare them for the workforce. The pathways program began incurring expenses related to startup and construction of changes to our facility, but the program did not start serving clients until february of 2025.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The inspiring minds program stopped operating at the end of 2023, so it did not operate in 2024. We stopped providing services specifically for marshall fire victims at the end of 2023. The basics 4 babies program and the precious essentials program were combined in 2024 and renamed the "empowerment resource center". The services provided by these 2 programs did not change, they were rolled up into one program.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The empowerment resource center provides clothing, coats, shoes, food, toiletries, home goods, and other essentials to children and their families struggling with poverty or emergency situations through our main resource center and 50 satellite resource centers across the denver metro area. In 2024, a value of over $9.8 million in essentials were provided to nearly 40,000 local residents in need.

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 2017 to 2018, from $1.5M to $7.8M (+428%).
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: 2017 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 1% · 2020 1% · 2021 4% · 2022 7% · 2023 6% · 2024 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of A PRECIOUS CHILD INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 21 funders to 82 funders, grant income rose $421k → $1.8M.
37 of 207 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% 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 PRECIOUS CHILD INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 207 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 PRECIOUS CHILD INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 9 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 9 funders to its left
67% 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 PRECIOUS CHILD INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 34% · 2019 24% · 2020 16% · 2021 14% · 2022 20% · 2023 11% — 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
37% of A PRECIOUS CHILD INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
52% of A PRECIOUS CHILD INC'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 $5.5M that is directly attributable, 62% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 18 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.
