What Collaborative Support Services Inc does
Mission
The mission of Collaborative Support Services, Inc. is to support charitable programming in the State of Hawaii, with a specific focus on early-stage organizations. The Corporation will support this programming through capacity-building activities for early-stage charitable organizations including grant funding, administrative support, and educational seminars and convenings. The Corporation will also serve as a fiscal sponsor for early-stage charitable initiatives, ultimately assisting those initiatives in becoming independent tax-exempt organizations if there is sufficient need, support, and desire for such independence. Non-profit projects in Hawaii are suffering from the time and cost of applying for tax exempt status independently. This entity will allow these early teams to focus on designing and proving the efficacy of their interventions in a more time and resource efficient way.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Early Childhood Action Strategy (ECAS) is a statewide public-private collaborative designed to improve the system of care for Hawaii's youngest children and their families. ECAS brings together government and non-governmental organizations to align priorities for children prenatal to age eight, streamline services, maximize resources and improve programs to support our youngest keiki.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.7M to $4.2M (+142%).
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.
67% of Collaborative Support Services Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (0% for the typical peer).

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.

“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.

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
55% of Collaborative Support Services Inc's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $147k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
