What Crossroads for Kids Inc does
Mission
Crossroads serves over 1,000 youth (gr. 2-12) from low-income communities in greater boston and brockton. Year-round programming provides opportunities for outdoor experiential learning, social-emotional skill development, college and career exploration, and relationship building with peers and role models.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Crossroads camps: residential, overnight summer programs that offer traditional camp activities as children develop the social-emotional skills and confidence needed for success at home and in school. Every child has opportunities to improve their swimming skills, learn to ride a bike, tackle the high ropes course, explore the unique beauty of nature, and make new friends. Participants experience a deep sense of community and belonging-the opportunity to be their best selves in a safe, fun, and engaging setting (gr. 2-8).

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 2023 to 2024, from $14M to $17M (+20%).
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: 2020 15% · 2021 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
75% of CROSSROADS FOR KIDS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

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.

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 CROSSROADS FOR KIDS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 57% · 2019 20% · 2020 12% · 2021 12% · 2022 13% · 2023 13% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
