What Community Early Learning Center of the Fox Valley Inc does
Mission
To ensure that by age five, all our children have the foundation to achieve their full potential.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The kindness project seeks to enhance the educational programming at three celc agencies by implementing a mindfulness-based kindness curriculum through collaboration with dr. Richard davidson's healthy minds innovation team at the university of wisconsin-madison (https://centerhealthyminds.org/). The kindness curriculum includes 24 lessons that teach children to focus their attention, be empathetic to others, control their emotions, and express caring and gratitude. Enriching the current programming with the kindness curriculum helps us to better ensure that by age 5, all our children have the foundation to reach their full potential. The project is serving about 250 children per year (predominantly low-income children), their parents, and their teachers, and helps to provide children with the self-regulation skills that lead to personal, social, and academic success.

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 $1.7M to $1.5M (−10%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2022 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 COMMUNITY EARLY LEARNING CENTER OF THE FOX VALLEY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 64% · 2018 60% · 2019 77% · 2020 49% · 2021 100% · 2022 67% · 2023 93% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $818k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
