Programs
Foster care - children are placed in foster care due to abuse or neglect. Currently, there are approx 7,300 children in out-of-home care in arizona. The purpose of christian family care's foster care ministry is to provide safe, christ-centered homes to at-risk children and help restore the children's biological families- by collaborating with the arizona department of child safety and cfc's other programs. Foster families licensed through christian family care have opened their hearts and homes to these children to help them heal from abuse or neglect. They're also living out their faith and encouraged to share god's redeeming love in word and deed with those children. Our licensed foster families have access to christ-centered support services that help equip and educate them to care for children with unique needs. Christian family care is there to encourage them, pray with them, and respond to unexpected challenges or emergencies. By providing professional support services at no cost, we are giving every family and child the tools they need to succeed.

At christian family care, we believe adoption is the most meaningful gift an adult can give a traumatized or vulnerable child. From the first steps in exploring adoption to big steps in welcoming home a child; we are there every step of the way. Even after an adoption is finalized, we offer parenting courses and educational videos to support and educate parents on how to care for children who may come with a traumatized past. Christian family care is here to advise, guide, encourage, and pray with our adoptive families. In addition, christian family care's pregnancy coaches offer support through decision-making and post-adoption support. Expectant families who choose to place their baby in an adoptive family can review profiles of our hopeful adoptive families all certified by the state of arizona. At christian family care, we've witnessed the blessings of open adoption. Therefore, we work with families who are willing to build and maintain ongoing connections with birth families for the benefit of their child.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2019 to 2020, from $13M to $15M (+12%).
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 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

From the IRS filings of CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE AGENCY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 58 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
CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE AGENCY INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
64% 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 CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE AGENCY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 85% · 2018 42% · 2019 29% · 2020 31% · 2021 26% · 2022 20% · 2023 24% — 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
50% of CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE AGENCY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 66% 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
56% of CHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE AGENCY INC'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 $2.5M that is directly attributable, 58% of it comes from funders outside Arizona, across 14 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
