What Communities in Schools of Central Texas does
Mission
Communities in Schools of Central Texas (cisct) ensures students have holistic support, removing academic and nonacademic barriers to their success in school.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In the 2024-2025 school year, cisct provided intensive, ongoing support for 9,367 students, and provided short-term services for an additional 68,087 students. The centerpiece of the cis model is our social service staff who establish one-on-one relationships with individual students, parents, and community members to create a service plan based on each child's needs, and then make that plan happen. With the help of our social service team we are able to provide individual counseling or support groups, basic life skills, tutoring, mentoring, ged classes,family care coordination, parenting classes, or enrichment opportunities to help the child succeed. Additional services include home-based intensive services to children and their families, a leadership development and peer support program for high school-age, at-risk males, literacy services for the entire family, school-based workshops and community education to keep children "safe, strong, and free, and supporting public housing residents in their journey to economic self-sufficiency through school-based and property-based educational, enrichment, and case management services.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $12M to $26M (+122%).
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: 2018 54% · 2019 37% · 2020 37% · 2021 34% · 2022 19% · 2023 28% · 2024 28% · 2025 35%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
74% of COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF CENTRAL TEXAS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 36 funders, grant income rose $1.5M → $7.0M.
15 of 69 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $11M from 6 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Chicago Community Trust). These are real filings, and they are not money COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF CENTRAL TEXAS raised.
From the IRS filings of COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF CENTRAL TEXAS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 69 funders by total. Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
68% 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 COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF CENTRAL TEXAS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 86% · 2018 30% · 2019 21% · 2020 59% · 2021 32% · 2022 32% · 2023 39% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
