Programs
The kopila valley children's home, located in surkhet, nepal, has been home to 87 children. This year, we welcomed 1 new child into our home and transitioned 4 out to live independently with our support. There are now 50 children residing in the home. A total of 37 young adults have "graduated" from the home. Of these, 16 are enrolled in university and their further studies, 14 have completed their bachelor's, 12 are employed, and 9 are overseas. The children are provided with a safe and loving environment and are cared for as a family. Our additional hostel, the big sisters' home, provides a safe haven for at-risk youth girls who attend kopila valley school. We had 1 young woman in our care this year. We prioritize reintegration and family healing where it is appropriate and safe. This year's highlight was completing the build on our new children's village. In november, the family moved into this beautiful, environmentally sustainable and earthquake resistant home.

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 2020 to 2021, from $4.0M to $6.2M (+55%).
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: 2021 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 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 BLINKNOW FOUNDATION A NJ NONPROFIT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 20% · 2019 19% · 2020 28% · 2021 14% · 2022 21% · 2023 34% — broadly stable.

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.

Where its funders are
64% of BLINKNOW FOUNDATION A NJ NONPROFIT'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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 17 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.
