The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $839,494.
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 $595k to $738k (+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: 2017 80% · 2018 65% · 2019 83% · 2020 93% · 2021 76% · 2022 94% · 2023 95% · 2024 96% · 2025 95%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of ASSOCIATION FOR CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
