What Children's Home Society of Virginia does
Mission
The mission of CHSVA is to build strong permanent families and lifelong relationships for Virginia's at risk children and youth.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
CHS's My Path Forward Program (MPF) provides housing and holistic support services to youth who have experienced traumas that resulted in them being placed in - and ultimately aging out of -the foster care system without a permanent family. MPF's comprehensive services include six major categories of support: 1) safe, stable housing; 2) post-secondary education and vocational training; 3) employment and workforce development training; 4) financial literacy training; 5) physical and mental healthcare; and 6) permanent relationships with supportive adult mentors. MPF provides permanent housing through a partnership with the nonprofit Better Housing Coalition. MPF serves two categories of clients: youth ages 18-21 who are eligible to receive some financial assistance thru Virginia social service agencies (MPF Independent Living Arrangement) and youth ages 21-25 who are not eligible to receive state social services subsidies (MPF Legacy). All program participants are provided MPF's collaborative service model that embraces a best practice, trauma-informed and equitable approaches to equip aged out foster youth to thrive as independent adults.

We serve children who are in the custody of local social service departments because they have been abused, neglected and/or abandoned. Our adoption team uses best practice, trauma-informed approaches as we collaborate with local social service agencies and private therapists to meet the permanency needs of waiting foster children. The children CHS serves are often considered "more difficult to place" because they are older, part of a sibling group and/or have significant trauma histories.

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 $3.3M to $4.1M (+26%).
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: 2021 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
49% of Children's Home Society of Virginia’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 24 funders, grant income fell $453k → $392k.
6 of 42 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% 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: $830k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Childrens Home Society of Virginia Memorial Fund). These are real filings, and they are not money Children's Home Society of Virginia raised.
From the IRS filings of Children's Home Society of Virginia’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 42 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
Children's Home Society of Virginia has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
51% 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 Home Society of Virginia.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 35% · 2019 25% · 2020 44% · 2021 40% · 2022 37% · 2023 19% — 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
57% of Children's Home Society of Virginia's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 76% 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 Home Society of Virginia draws 57% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $805k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
