What Children of Incarcerated Caregivers does
Mission
Our mission is to research, identify, and implement solutions to enhance the lives of children affected by a parent's incarceration.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Cic connects:in 2024, cic connects provided regular programming and opportunities to families impacted by parental incarceration. These families received email communications about free camps and enrichment opportunities. Cic partnered with ymca camp icaghowan and ymca camp olson to send 30 youth impacted by parental incarceration to a week of free overnight camp. Cic also introduced a weekend family camp to six cic families. Throughout the year, many families in cic's network attended sporting events, visited museums, and saw live theater performances through cic's ticket donation program. During the holiday season, we collaborated with mercy vineyard church on an angel tree gift drive that delivered free christmas presents to cic youth.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $15k to $38k (+162%).
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.

From the IRS filings of CHILDREN OF INCARCERATED CAREGIVERS’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.
Where its funders are
100% of CHILDREN OF INCARCERATED CAREGIVERS'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $450k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
