  1. Licensed Child Care programs (school age): providing high quality state-licensed before and after school care and all-day holiday camps to approx. 1,400 children and their families per year. We provide a safe and structured environment for elementary-age children so that families can work or attend school. Financial aid scholarships are offered for weekly program fees to those in need, and no child is turned away due to inability to pay. Annual fundraising efforts help to support our financial assistance awards. We also partner to operate an early childhood preschool daycare for the One Safe Place social justice center and CDC @ Broadway.

  2. Grant-funded Afterschool programs: providing comprehensive on-campus afterschool experiences for approx. 2,200 youth each year. Programs are funded through school districts, crime prevention efforts, and state-wide 21st Century Community Learning Center awards. Children are targeted for the program based on high academic and social need. These programs are no-cost to families, and seek to assist in juvenile crime prevention and increasing math and literacy outcomes for students.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $20k → $88k.

4 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 CLAYTON CHILD CARE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 14 of 15 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

CLAYTON CHILD CARE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 33% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 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 CLAYTON CHILD CARE INC.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $239k 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.
