What Childs Place does
Mission
The mission of Childs Place is to listen to children in a safe developmentally sensitive and legally sound manner; to unite professionals in a coordinated response to child abuse; to guide children and families toward healing through individualized support; and to strengthen our community through prevention education and trauma-informed programming.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
A forensic interview is a neutral child-led semi-structured conversation with children who have experienced or witnessed abuse. A trained forensic interviewer conducts the interviews following a nationally approved protocol using non-leading and developmentally appropriate questions. The interviews take place in a private room with only the interviewer and child present. Caregivers can meet with an advocate during the interview to address concerns and plan next steps. The information collected during the forensic interview serves as evidence for agencies investigating the abuse.
$145,781 spent56% of program spendingChilds Place offers victim advocacy services to crime victims and caregivers. A trained child advocate provides various services such as aiding with victim reparations protection orders connecting families with healing services liaising with investigative agencies and service providers and crisis intervention. Advocacy continues throughout the case or judicial process until the victims needs are fulfilled.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $16k to $92k (+490%).
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 71% · 2022 73% · 2023 87% · 2024 70% · 2025 88%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Childs Place’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $54k → $67.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 Childs Place’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
Childs Place leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
50% 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 Childs Place.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 77% · 2022 75% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
40% of Childs Place's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 38% 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
100% of Childs Place's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
