What Child Advocates San Antonio does
Mission
To recruit, develop, and lead court-appointed volunteer advocates who provide constancy for abused and neglected children and youth while advocating for services and placement in safe and permanent homes.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Casa ensures children in the foster care system are provided with the services they need to heal from trauma, and that their voices are heard in decisions about their future. Advocates stand on behalf of the child in court, letting the judge know the child's wishes, as well as advocating for the child's well-being. The advocate ensures the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs are met, and they are safe. The advocate also facilitates connection for the child, with siblings, family, and when possible, community, and culture. The advocate is the constant person who stands by children while they are in the child welfare system, at least 12 months, but sometimes much longer. Children in foster care are there through no fault of their own and have all their choices taken away. They need to know that someone cares and will show up for them, and that they deserve to be heard. Their advocate fills those needs.

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 2021 to 2022, from $5.1M to $9.2M (+82%).
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 43% · 2018 53% · 2019 53% · 2020 40% · 2021 46% · 2022 24% · 2023 43% · 2024 39% · 2025 34%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of CHILD ADVOCATES SAN ANTONIO’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

14 of 80 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 CHILD ADVOCATES SAN ANTONIO’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 80 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
CHILD ADVOCATES SAN ANTONIO leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 CHILD ADVOCATES SAN ANTONIO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 88% · 2018 93% · 2019 73% · 2020 73% · 2021 50% · 2022 68% · 2023 71% — 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
38% of CHILD ADVOCATES SAN ANTONIO's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
98% of CHILD ADVOCATES SAN ANTONIO's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
