Programs
Children, youth, and families (cyf)/foster care - afn collaborates with the children, youth, and families (cyf) agency, supporting families who have children entering placement for the second time. Afn supports the parents with a team using the high fidelity wraparound model. This is a strength-based model that first hears the family's voice and choice as to what they need to be successful. Afn participates in the conferencing and teaming process for families in allegheny county. This process focuses on the voice of the family and is similar to the high fidelity wraparound process.afn is contracted to provide family support providers (fsp) for cyf's diligent recruitment program (foster care program). Through this program an fsp is assigned to work with foster parents who are fostering a teen in their home. This program was initiated to help try to prevent placement disruptions and identify and increase the number of foster parents who are willing to allow a teenager in their home. All fsps in this program have experience as a foster parent and are able to provide peer support from that perspective.

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 2023 to 2024, from $2.5M to $5.4M (+114%).
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 75% · 2018 82% · 2019 83% · 2020 77% · 2021 79% · 2022 69% · 2023 84% · 2024 83% · 2025 86%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of ALLEGHENY FAMILY NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income rose $115k → $225k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% 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 ALLEGHENY FAMILY NETWORK’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
ALLEGHENY FAMILY NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
47% 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 ALLEGHENY FAMILY NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2019 32% · 2020 100% · 2021 84% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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
20% of ALLEGHENY FAMILY NETWORK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
97% of ALLEGHENY FAMILY NETWORK's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $365k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
