What Child Center-Marygrove does
Mission
Providing a safe home, compassionate care and high-quality mental health services to children and youth who have experienced significant trauma, to restore their childhood and equip them to productive adulthood.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Residential: two residential "cottages" on the marygrove campus in florissant provide a safe and stable home for youth, ages 10-21, while they receive individual, group, and family therapy and case management to heal from trauma and resulting emotional and behavioral issues. Historically, one of the largest residential treatment facilities in missouri, marygrove is known for helping youth who have not been successful with other agencies or in other settings to achieve their goals. In calendar year 2024, the program served 45 clients with 84% demonstrating progress on 50% of their treatment goals, 82% improving scores on the global assessment of functioning, and 84% discharging to a less restrictive environment.

Some residents are pregnant or parenting, so support services such as in-home parenting programs are offered to these young families. There is no live-in supervision, so youth must be able to practice advanced daily living skills such as preparing meals alone, following a schedule independently, and using public transportation for work and school. Young adults are required to either be working or going to school; many do both. In calendar year 2024, the program served 58 clients with 98% enrolled in school or work, 87.5% discharging to a less restrictive environment and 95% learning new or enhanced independent living skills, based on the ansel-casey life skills assessment.

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 $9.2M to $7.1M (−22%).
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 13% · 2022 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
39% of CHILD CENTER-MARYGROVE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 21 funders to 39 funders, grant income rose $793k → $1.4M.
14 of 96 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $4.7M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Child Center Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CHILD CENTER-MARYGROVE raised.
From the IRS filings of CHILD CENTER-MARYGROVE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 96 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 CENTER-MARYGROVE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 32% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
79% 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 CENTER-MARYGROVE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 61% · 2019 54% · 2020 41% · 2021 23% · 2022 26% · 2023 22% — 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
47% of CHILD CENTER-MARYGROVE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
81% of CHILD CENTER-MARYGROVE's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
