As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
School year: we provide a safe and nurturing place for the students of buena vista elementary to go both before and after school. We are open daily from 7 am until 6pm. In the morning we offer breakfast as well as assist the children in getting to school on time. After school we provide a snack, a quiet homework room, and a variety of daily activities (outside games/ free play, art projects, computers, free play both inside and outside, and cooking). We have an average daily attendance of 120 children. By being able to retain our staff, we have been able to continue to provide these services at a very high quality to the families of the buena ivsta school. Nearly all of the staff started here as students and have returned (continued on schedule o)to work at the club. The returning children are working as both teachers and teachers' aides.
$395,081 spent$675,810 earned by the program70% of program spendingSummer camp: every summer we provide a summer camp program (brekaing even or operating at a loss), which runs throughout the summer vacation while school is not in session. We accompany the children to a local park to play and a city pool to swim twice per week. We have an offsite field trip once a week. The summer tution includes payments for care, cost of field trips, and swimming which we have to maintain a low ratio of adult-child. Providing this fun and important cam enables parents to work and have to worry about the children's well being and safety.

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 2023 to 2024, from $492k to $777k (+58%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2020 2% · 2021 27% · 2022 13% · 2023 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 BUENA VISTA CHILDREN'S CENTER 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.
Where its funders are
100% of BUENA VISTA CHILDREN'S CENTER INC'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $257 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
