Programs

  1. Medical Care Provided to Children CHLAMG provides specialty medical services at Children's Hospital Los Angeles in the subspecialties representing the Departments of Pediatrics, Surgery, Anesthesia/Critical Care Medicine, Radiology, and Pathology to the underserved pediatric population of Los Angeles and surrounding counties regardless of their ability to pay. The majority of patients served by CHLAMG are beneficiaries of Medi-Cal (and other state programs for the medically indigent) and most patients and families served live in areas demonstrated to be poor or medically underserved. CHLAMG provides services to the uninsured (and underserved) at rates significantly below its established fees.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $50k → $100k.

5 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 91% 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 Hospital Los Angeles Medical Group’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 Hospital Los Angeles Medical Group leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

100% 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 Hospital Los Angeles Medical Group.

“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 Children's Hospital Los Angeles Medical Group's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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

91% of Children's Hospital Los Angeles Medical Group'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 $69k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside California, across 5 states.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $689k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
