As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Health care for the homeless: Care Alliance health center was established in 1985 as one of the original robert wood johnson foundation health care for the homeless projects in the nation and in 1993 became an independent nonprofit organization. Today, Care Alliance continues its focus on providing health care to those experiencing homelessness in the city of cleveland as a federally qualified health center receiving funding through the u.s. Department of health resources and services administration (hrsa). After more than forty years of providing health care to the homeless population, Care Alliance has built a strong rapport with this population as well as developing tremendous respect as an integral member of the local delivery system of safety-net providers. The health care for the homeless program offers primary health care and supportive services at all three of Care Alliance's primary clinic locations as well as at outreach sites throughout the city where people who are homeless tend to congregate. Comprehensive dental, optometry and behavioral health services are provided at our main clinic. Individuals and families experiencing homelessness have unique health care needs.…

Since that time, Care Alliance has operated one clinic within the cuyahoga metropolitan housing authority (cmha) developments. This space has enabled the organization to provide its services in easily accessible location to public housing residents and in a culturally sensitive manner. The facility is located on the near east side of the city inside carl b. Stokes social services mall. After the recent renovation of our stokes clinic, the location offers Care Alliance primary medical and podiatry services across the lifespan of our patient population. In april 2015, Care Alliance opened the central neighborhood clinic to provide comprehensive primary medical, behavioral, podiatry, and dental services to adults and children living in cleveland's central neighborhood, home to the highest concentration of…

As such, Care Alliance provides care to people living with hiv/aids (plwha) through community-based and in-house hiv testing, counseling, linkage to care, and referrals to supportive services. In an effort to provide medical, dental and supportive services to plwha, our team works to maintain and develop strong relationships with hiv service providers in the cleveland area to ensure a continuum of care and non-duplication of services. Hiv testing, education, and medical care is located at our central clinic, when an individual seen in the clinic or outreach location tests positive for the hiv virus, he or she is immediately linked to care. Individuals who test positive are introduced to our outreach worker for basic hiv education and discussion about the importance of consistent medical care and medication regimens. All new Care Alliance patients are seen by the care coordinator for an initial assessment to understand the need for supportive services. Ongoing supportive services include partner notification; medical evaluation and ongoing care; adherence…

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 $15M to $10M (−33%).
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 37% · 2018 35% · 2019 37% · 2020 44% · 2021 80% · 2022 47% · 2023 48% · 2024 45% · 2025 42%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
44% of CARE ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 8 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $559k → $7k.
6 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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 CARE ALLIANCE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 20 of 24 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
CARE ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
95% 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 CARE ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 68% · 2019 56% · 2020 98% · 2021 83% · 2022 50% · 2023 99% — growing more concentrated.
“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
0% of CARE ALLIANCE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 29% 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
96% of CARE ALLIANCE's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $844k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
Against its field
CARE ALLIANCE holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 2,396 human services nonprofits its size.
