What Children's Protective Association Inc does
Mission
Serving youth through a caring, therapeutic environment where hurts are healed; hope is nurtured.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Brantwood is a home for children who need one. We serve boys and girls ages ten to twenty years old who, through no actions of their own, have not received a fair start to life, and provide them with the same things that any parent would provide their own children. In addition to the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter, we attempt to instill a sense of normalcy and provide a caring, family environment for the children who received our care over the past year.
$706,347 spent55% of program spendingFinding a need for a more specialized educational program for our children, brantwood began educating our youth on-site in the mid 1990's thanks to a donation from the kiwanis club of montgomery, which was used to build our school building. The brantwood on-site educational program or bosep, as it is commonly called, allows children a safe place to learn at their own levels. Having a lower student to teacher ratio allows us to account for the individual aptitudes, interests and challenges of our children while striving to re-shape our children's attitude towards education.
$226,925 spent18% of program spendingThe independent living program strives to provide children ages eighteen to twenty one with the tools, skills knowledge and experience they need to secure and maintain employment and housing; assume responsibility for their health and nutrition; contribute to their community; and form rewarding relationships with their peers. For brantwood, our job extends beyond the children's eighteenth birthday, as we provide transportation, minimal supervision and mentoring while attempting to ensure the children's success into adulthood.

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 2023 to 2024, from $1.6M to $1.3M (−18%).
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 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 1% · 2021 5% · 2022 6% · 2023 10% · 2024 8% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
45% of CHILDREN'S PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 16 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $141k → $200k.
4 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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 PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% 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
83% 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 PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 71% · 2018 66% · 2019 57% · 2020 68% · 2021 65% · 2022 35% · 2023 38% — 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
52% of CHILDREN'S PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% 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
96% of CHILDREN'S PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION INC's grant income comes from Alabama funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $488k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.

CHILDREN'S PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION INC's funding has concentrated — grant income rose while the number of funders held roughly flat.
