What Connecticut Voices for Children Inc does
Mission
We provide trusted, quality research, recommendations and advocacy that advance public policy and investments to improve the well-being of connecticut's children and families, specifically those that have been historically disadvantaged.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Fiscal and economics: budgets are a clear reflection of what and who we value. Ct voices identifies and advocates for investments in children and families as the primary budget priority, but we also conduct research and work with stakeholders and partners in coalition to advance advocacy that supports inclusive growth and a fair tax system within the state.
$743,280 spent$217,500 earned by the program71% of program spendingFamily economic security: today, the state's income and wealth divides are greater than ever, but so much of a child's well-being is rooted in family economic security. Children cannot thrive unless families do, which is why ct voices prioritizes affordable housing, criminal justice, and fair employment, as well as the intersectional issues of health, child welfare, and education.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $2.6M to $2.0M (−24%).
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 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of CONNECTICUT VOICES FOR CHILDREN INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
52% 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 CONNECTICUT VOICES FOR CHILDREN INC.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
