Programs
Child & family well-being: breaking cycles of child abuse and neglect. Chs serves families at risk of entering the foster care system as well as children who have been removed from their homes; the goal is to find a permanent solution (reunification, adoption or a permanent living situation with a relative), so the child lives in a safe, nurturing environment. These services include case management, shelter, foster/adoptive home recruitment and retention, in-home support services, family preservation services, child protection teams, cins/fins services for runaway and homeless youth, family and sibling visitation services, group home services, reunification, adoption and transitional living services. Chs has developed and implemented innovative solutions (e.g.: caseaim) to reduce lengths of stay for children in care, improve the quality of care, and improve child outcomes for safety, permanency and well-being.

Chs promotes healthy bonding, attachment and development through the implementation of evidenced-based curricula in home-visiting and center-based settings. Chs' prevention and early intervention services successfully keep families together - and out of the foster care system - and the early childhood solutions are effective in helping children achieve school readiness by age 5, a key indicator in their future academic success.

In these schools and services, chs and partners work to remove barriers to learning (hunger, homelessness, illness), address health equity, promote opportunities through enrichment activities during and after school, promote youth development and provide a solid foundation for academic instruction. In community partnership schools, community leaders, parents, teachers and students have a voice in a shared governance model with a shared vision, goals and outcomes for the school and surrounding neighborhood. Results include increased graduation rates, improved school attendance, reduced disciplinary actions in schools, and increased health and safety in the school and surrounding neighborhoods.

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 $89M to $77M (−14%).
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 79% · 2018 81% · 2019 79% · 2020 80% · 2021 75% · 2022 77% · 2023 83% · 2024 83% · 2025 84%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 114 funders to 147 funders, grant income fell $25M → $22M.
36 of 393 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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: $7.9M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Children's Home Society of Florida Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA raised.
From the IRS filings of THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 393 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
THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
95% 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 THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 40% · 2019 31% · 2020 40% · 2021 30% · 2022 36% · 2023 27% — 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
43% of THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA'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
97% of THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY OF FLORIDA's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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.
