What Childfund International USA does
Mission
Childfund's mission is to help deprived, excluded and vulnerable children have the capacity to become young adults, parents and leaders who bring lasting and positive change to their communities, and to promote societies whose individuals and institutions participate in valuing, protecting and advancing the worth and the rights of children.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Health & sanitation: childfund's interventions to promote public health include improving access to water and sanitation facilities, supporting local water and sanitation committees to manage and maintain water sources, and educating children and families on the importance of safe water and healthy practices. We also work through local partners to establish robust monitoring and evaluation systems and support capacity-building for local authorities and service providers. All of this ensures the reliable and sustainable provision of water, sanitation, and hygiene (wash) services, leading to better health outcomes and improved quality of life for communities.

To ensure sustainable program implementation, we provide opportunities for local partner organizations to build their knowledge through workshops and learning exchanges on positive parenting practices. Parenting mentors and facilitators engage in training and supervision to effectively support caregivers to improve their knowledge, attitudes and practices around parenting and early childhood development. Interactive group sessions and personalized home visits ensure that the support is tailored to the participants' needs, especially those in vulnerable situations or remote, hard-to-reach communities.

This makes nutrition programming critical for improving health outcomes, fostering economic development and thus stability. Proper nutrition programming can significantly reduce under-5 deaths and prevent diseases related to malnutrition for all children. Childfund's approach reduces malnutrition by promoting healthy infant and young-child feeding practices, training and mobilizing community health workers to provide nutrition services, and connecting families with local health services.

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 2023 to 2024, from $173M to $199M (+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: 2017 3% · 2018 3% · 2019 2% · 2020 1% · 2021 3% · 2022 4% · 2023 6% · 2024 5% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of CHILDFUND INTERNATIONAL USA’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 81 funders to 116 funders, grant income fell $5.4M → $5.3M.
47 of 272 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 CHILDFUND INTERNATIONAL USA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 272 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
CHILDFUND INTERNATIONAL USA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% 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
71% 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 CHILDFUND INTERNATIONAL USA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 34% · 2019 30% · 2020 28% · 2021 26% · 2022 17% · 2023 21% — 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
54% of CHILDFUND INTERNATIONAL USA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
59% of CHILDFUND INTERNATIONAL USA's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $15M that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 41 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $22M arriving through sponsors registered in 23 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.
