What Center for Childhood Safety Inc does
Mission
To create a culture of childhood safety in northeast wisconsin by providing education and resources to children and adults.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our organization is dedicated to helping families and communities keep kids safe from injuries. For 30 years, the center for childhood safety has been a ""vaccine"" against accidental childhood injury. Ccs's mission is to be the leading source of safety education and programming in northeast wisconsin, dedicated to preventing and eliminating childhood injury. Each year more than 6.5 million young people are injured severely enough to land in a hospital emergency room, many with life-altering consequences. Yet, an astounding 90% of these could have been avoided through education and prevention measures like those offered through the center for childhood safety (ccs). Preventable injuries lead to more death or disability for children ages 1-19 in wisconsin and around the country. When we talk about preventable injuries, we are not talking about skinned knees, bruised shins or scraped elbows. Those are the telltale signs of a curious child, learning about the world and looking for adventure. Center for childhood safety (ccs) works to protect kids from more serious injuries and deaths that don't have to happen. We want a world where no parent has to experience the loss of a child.…

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $531k to $2.0M (+284%).
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 10% · 2023 31% · 2024 14% · 2025 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
34% 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 CENTER FOR CHILDHOOD SAFETY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 56% · 2018 57% · 2019 37% · 2020 64% · 2021 55% · 2022 31% · 2023 23% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $278k 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.
