What Bastrop County Cares does
Mission

Our mission is to improve the lives of people in the bastrop county community by identifying large community issues that no one organization can tackle on its own, researching, collecting and analyzing data, make decisions on community issues together, build public will, advance policy, and mobilize/leverage funding.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

By embedding principles of shared measurement, cross-sector collaboration, and community voice, Bastrop County Cares ensures that collaborative efforts reduce disparities, promote positive change, and improve the health and well-being of residents across bastrop county. This revision reflects our strategic direction to move beyond individual program delivery toward community-wide impact that addresses root causes of…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,206,302.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $1.4M to $359k (−75%).
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: 2018 69% · 2019 1% · 2020 2% · 2021 2% · 2022 11% · 2023 55% · 2024 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of BASTROP COUNTY CARES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
