Children's nebraska foundation (the foundation) was created in 1981 to raise awareness and manage and distribute funds to support children's hospital & medical center's (the hospital) premier pediatric services and programs. As an advocate for children, many of the services the hospital provides are not reimbursed.

Program
The foundation's purpose is to solicit, receive, invest and distribute general and specific, restricted and unrestricted gifts for the benefit and support of the hospital. Grants are approved by the foundation's board of directors for the benefit of children's hospital & medical center and affiliates.

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 $483M to $86M (−82%).
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: 2020 1% · 2021 3% · 2022 0% · 2023 47% · 2024 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (7% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 17 funders to 32 funders, grant income rose $463k → $3.0M.
19 of 103 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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: $18k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Creighton University). These are real filings, and they are not money CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 103 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 HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 12% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
47% 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 & MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 40% · 2018 70% · 2019 37% · 2020 29% · 2021 24% · 2022 22% · 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.

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
78% of CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Nebraska funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
