What Alongside Families does
Mission
Alongside Families exists to connect isolated families to local church communities that champion family preservation and thriving.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
1. Alongside Families provided 57 hostings for children whose parents were experiencing a crisis situation, providing 188 nights of care and 275 days of care. Alongside Families connected isolated families who were experiencing a crisis such as parent hospitalization, homelessness, or unemployment, to thoroughly screened, approved volunteers in local partner churches who provided temporary care for children in the volunteers homes while the parent stabilized their situation. Hosting was 100% voluntary on the part of the parent, who maintained full custody of their child(ren) and were reunited whenever they felt ready. Volunteers were supported by their church community through babysitting, meals, and transportation while hosting children. Our professional staff team provided screening, training, and approval of volunteers, intake of families in need, and safety oversight during hostings. This program service kept families intact and prevented children from unnecessarily entering foster care when no neglect or abuse had occurred. 100% of children hosted were reunited with her or his parents. This program service also provided a way for local churches to actively live out Christs…

Alongside Families connected parents going through a difficult time in life to trained Family Coach and Community Friend volunteers who guided parents through goal setting, connecting to essential community resources, and meeting their goals for stabilizing their family situation. Alongside Families also provided these Family Coach volunteers for each child hosting who monitored the safety of the child in the host home, helped volunteer host families to build strong relationships with the parent, and helped host families to get necessary resources in place for children being hosted to thrive. Alongside Families provided weekly, supportive supervision to Family Coach volunteers through a Family Care Manager to ensure appropriate safety oversight, guidance, and problem-solving. This program service allowed parents in crisis to successfully navigate their goals for family stability. This program service resulted in 100% reunification of children with their parents and in parents who were better equipped to care for their children and to access community resources at the end of the hosting.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $178k to $256k (+44%).
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.
100% of ALONGSIDE FAMILIES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $31k → $104k.
5 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 63% 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 ALONGSIDE FAMILIES’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
ALONGSIDE FAMILIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 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 ALONGSIDE FAMILIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 75% · 2023 48% — 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.
Where its funders are
63% of ALONGSIDE FAMILIES'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 $93k that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 3 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $158k 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.
