What Children's Advocacy Center does
Mission
Our mission is to help and heal children and their families who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect. Because every child deserves a voice, we provide vital services when they need it the most.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Program 1 - community closet & food pantry the community closet and food pantry (closet) program addresses the immediate physical needs of child abuse victims and their families. The closet offers a comprehensive array of essential items to help families in distress, particularly those experiencing economic hardships, and transportation barriers. At the childrens advocacy center, we often encounter cases where the abuser serves as the household's primary source of income. For nonoffending parents, who are typically single mothers facing socioeconomic challenges, the support provided by the closet offers a vital reprieve as they navigate the path to preventing further victimization. By addressing their basic needs, we foster a sense of well- being for the children and enable the nonoffending parent(s) to focus on the child victim, process the trauma, strengthen the family unit, and begin the healing process. The closet provides: -non-perishable food items to combat food insecurity. -hygiene and household cleaning products to maintain safe living conditions. -toys and blankets to provide comfort and emotional support. -journals and gel pens for therapeutic purposes. -door alarms for…

This program ensures that child victims and their families receive the continuum of care necessary to heal from child abuse trauma and achieve equitable outcomes.

The primary objective of vegas heals is to minimize the devastating effects of child sexual abuse by empowering participants with the coping skills necessary to move forward and the knowledge to prevent further abuse. When a disclosure is made, the entire family unit is affected, including siblings who witnessed the abuse, the non-offending parent who needs support to maintain a safe environment, and other primary caretakers who need psychoeducation to adequately support the child victim. Traumainformed therapy recognizes and addresses the needs of both the primary victim and secondary victims siblings and nonoffending parents. Vegas heals…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $149k to $303k (+103%).
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: 2022 0% · 2023 39% · 2024 47% · 2025 28%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $16k.
2 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER’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.
How concentrated its funding is
CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
39% 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 CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 100% · 2022 50% · 2023 96% — 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
25% of CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 27% 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
CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER draws 66% of its grant income from funders outside Nevada, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
