What Central Institute for the Deaf does
Mission
Cid teaches children who are deaf and hard of hearing to listen, talk, read and succeed. We empower families and professionals in st. Louis and worldwide to help children reach their fullest potential.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Cid school services include a comprehensive suite of services to support children who are deaf and hard of hearing and their families. The family center program for children from birth to age 3 provides parent education, coaching, and toddler classes. Toddler classes include individual therapy and group activities focused on developing early listening, speech, and language skills. The school provides pre-academic/academic programs for children ages 3-12 that focus on teaching children to listen and talk. Pediatric audiology services for children up to age 18 ensure that children have optimal access to sound to communicate and learn. We served 297 children and their families for the fiscal year ended 8/31/2025. Grants consist of noncash scholarships off our stated tuition rate for 57 children ages 3-12. Because our program revenues from all sources only cover about 20% of program expenses, all of the children served benefit from the public support we receive.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $112M to $96M (−15%).
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: 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
44% of CENTRAL INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).

How concentrated its funding is
CENTRAL INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
35% 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 CENTRAL INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 24% · 2019 30% · 2020 21% · 2021 18% · 2022 32% · 2023 49% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

How long its funders stay
69% of CENTRAL INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 74% 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.

CENTRAL INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF draws 57% of its grant income from funders outside Missouri, across 16 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
