As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Child Care Assistance (CCA): ChildCareGroup manages three Child Care Services contracts across Texas, funded through the federal Child Care Development Block Grant. The program has two primary components: 1. Providing financial scholarships directly to families. 2. Supporting local early learning programs through the Texas Rising Star initiative, which raises the quality of care to prepare children for school success. Our service area includes Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas (Dallas County), Workforce Solutions Southeast Texas (Jefferson, Hardin, Orange Counties), and Workforce Solutions Heart of Texas (McLennan, Bosque, Falls, Freestone, Hill, and Limestone Counties). In 2024, 33,914 children received scholarships covering 12 months of care. Within three months, 71% of parents found employment, and all three regions saw increases in parents' average quarterly wages.

Using the Head Start model, we promote cognitive, emotional, language, physical, and social development, offering this program free of charge to eligible families. ECP also includes parent education and family engagement through our Home Visiting program, along with family resource support via our Family Navigation program and the Help Me Grow North Texas resource website. Serving families across Dallas, Kaufman, and Navarro counties, ECP creates a lasting impact on children and their communities. Texas ranks 43rd out of 50 states in overall child well-being, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation's 2024 Kids Count Data Book, which takes into account economic security, education, health, and family and community data. In fact, 18.4 percent of Texas children are living in poverty, compared to the national average of 16 percent. In Dallas County, the child poverty rate is even higher - at 19.8 percent [U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS), 2023…
$18,791,092 spent$240 earned by the program52% of program spendingTEXAS RISING STAR QUALITY INITIATIVES - ChildCareGroup's Child Care Assistance (CCA) program oversees the Quality Rating and Improvement System for our three workforce boards. Local childcare providers that agree to serve eligible children must meet quality standards and are expected to earn Texas Rising Star certification within two years. A state-contracted agency conducts formal assessments, awarding 2-Star, 3-Star, or 4-Star ratings based on research-backed criteria. Higher-quality ratings correspond with increased reimbursement rates. In 2024, 898 early learning programs received mentoring and support through our initiatives. Notably, 63% of the first cohort in the Heart of Texas Early Learning Apprenticeship Program pursued higher education after earning their Department of Labor Early Learning certification. Across all contracts, the number of programs achieving Texas Rising Star certification increased by 25%, reflecting measurable progress in quality improvement.

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 2020 to 2021, from $12M to $19M (+64%).
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 74% · 2018 80% · 2019 89% · 2020 90% · 2021 93% · 2022 92% · 2023 93% · 2024 94%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 17 funders to 25 funders, grant income fell $4.6M → $2.0M.
14 of 78 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 CHILDCAREGROUP’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 78 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
CHILDCAREGROUP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 CHILDCAREGROUP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 64% · 2018 78% · 2019 58% · 2020 37% · 2021 56% · 2022 61% · 2023 49% — 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
41% of CHILDCAREGROUP's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
94% of CHILDCAREGROUP's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
