What Calm Inc does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In fiscal year 2024-2025, calm streamlined its continuum of care into two program departments: (1) great beginnings and community strengthening collaborations were combined into the trauma prevention & early intervention department and (2) childhood trauma treatment and intensive family services were combined into the trauma treatment department.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Trauma prevention & early intervention departmentrecognizing that early support has the greatest impact, the trauma prevention & early intervention department provides services designed to foster healthy relationships, build resilience, and address challenges before they escalate. Services are designed for children prenatally through age nine, along with their caregivers and professional support networks. Programs offer a comprehensive range of services-including prevention, early intervention, and treatment-delivered in homes, community settings, and calm clinics. These services aim to prevent childhood trauma, support caregiver mental health, strengthen caregiver-child attachment, promote positive parenting practices, and reduce the effects of toxic stress. By also working with early childhood professionals, the department helps build systemic capacity in early childcare settings to strengthen resilience and capabilities among caregivers and professionals. For the fiscal year ended june 30, 2025, the trauma prevention & early intervention department provided 1,318 clients with 8,775 services.

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 2019 to 2020, from $18M to $20M (+12%).
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 63% · 2018 59% · 2020 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
25% of CALM INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (95% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 28 funders to 48 funders, grant income rose $706k → $1.6M.
14 of 99 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% 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 CALM INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 99 funders by total. 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
CALM INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
46% 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 CALM INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 24% · 2019 24% · 2020 18% · 2021 12% · 2022 14% · 2023 20% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
56% of CALM INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 72% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
92% of CALM INC's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
