Mission

Changing the way America cares for children and families.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. In-Home Family Services program creates a positive environment where children are safe, and where caregivers know how to serve as positive role models and nurturers and can provide for their familys personal and material needs. In many cases, a child is in danger of being removed from the home. Services are delivered to families in their own homes by trained family consultants who help parents build on their strengths and enhance or learn new parenting skills. Family consultants also teach family members how to create a safe, nurturing home for children, and how to use support resources to help them solve problems on their own. Treatment focuses on helping the whole family so children can stay in the home and parents can become better caregivers. The length and intensity of treatment depend on the familys needs and how likely it is that a child will have to be placed outside the home. Consultants and family members work together to develop individualized family service plans.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 9 funders, grant income fell $1.6M → $731k.

5 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $27M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Father Flanagan's Boys' Home). These are real filings, and they are not money Boys Town South Florida Inc raised.

From the IRS filings of Boys Town South Florida Inc’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

Boys Town South Florida Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

83% 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 Boys Town South Florida Inc.

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $155k 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.
