What Childsafe does
Mission
Childsafe restores hope and healing through expert treatment to children and their families who have been traumatized by sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect, while working with a multi disciplinary team of child protective services, the district attorneys office and law enforcement to provide a continuum of care to each child and their family and bring perpetrators to justice.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Forensic interviews and family support services - once referred for a forensic interview, the child is registered in our client services program and the family is assigned a family support specialist (fss) who works with that family from the moment they enter our doors until the child turns 18 years of age or is no longer in need of our services. The fss assists with: ensuring the child and family understand the forensic interview process and what happens if the child makes a positive outcry of abuse; reducing family anxiety about the investigation following the initial visit by explaining the legal and civil investigations process; assisting the family with identifying their immediate needs and ensuring the family is linked/has access to support; ensuring all the child's needs are met by referring them for counseling services, victims assistance, emergency assistance, and any other services needed; and provide crisis counseling to assist the family.
$2,586,902 spent12% of program spendingCounseling services-children, adolescents, and their non-offending family members recovering from the effects of childhood abuse are traumatized long after the abuse has ended. Their victims know more than 97% of the alleged perpetrators involved in child abuse investigation, and often the abuser is someone the child or family members care about or trust. As a result, child abuse victims struggle to establish trust, respect, confidence and a sense of security and control in their lives, and families are often torn apart. Childsafe provides a continuum of care to child victims of abuse and neglect and their supportive family members through counseling services. This crisis and long-term therapy is available to the child victims, their siblings, and all supportive family members to help with healing. Counseling may also include play therapy or adventure therapy and is provided by counselors trained in trauma treatment. The children we work with come to us with low self-esteem, feeling isolated and different from other children. Counseling services allow us to provide the needed treatment and support to ensure the healing process can occur.

Childsafe provides training to law enforcement and child protective services professionals, school districts, education and health care professionals, parents and caregivers on recognizing and reporting child abuse.

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 2017 to 2018, from $10M to $24M (+135%).
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 15% · 2018 29% · 2019 28% · 2020 51% · 2021 42% · 2022 32% · 2023 43% · 2024 43% · 2025 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
16% of CHILDSAFE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 14 funders to 25 funders, grant income fell $5.7M → $4.6M.
8 of 67 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 CHILDSAFE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 67 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
CHILDSAFE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
84% 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 CHILDSAFE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 61% · 2018 77% · 2019 40% · 2020 67% · 2021 71% · 2022 67% · 2023 63% — 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
37% of CHILDSAFE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
98% of CHILDSAFE's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
Against its field
CHILDSAFE runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 2,297 human services nonprofits its size.
