What Cuidando Los Nios Inc does
Mission
The mission of cuidando los nios is to break the cycle of homelessness for children and families. We do this by providing high quality early childhood education, therapeutic services, supportive housing and parent education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The housing program consists of four different contracts. Each contract assists families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Clients are referred to us from the coordinated entry system or from the family housing navigation center. These clients are given a rapid rehousing voucher which provides 12-24 months of rental assistance including application fees, deposits and rent payments. Each family is assigned to a case manager who works with the family to create an individualized 12-month family success plan. Progress and adherence to the plan is tracked through weekly phone calls and monthly house visits. These plans are centered around helping the parents obtain stability, stay in their apartments, and maintain independence once the voucher is complete. Our housing department also provides assistance separately from the vouchers that includes utility bills, arrears, application fees, deposits, gas cards, and cell phones.

Specific goals and objectives include conducting a family-needs assessment and developing an individualized one-year family action plan that is monitored on a regular basis through home visits. A formal referral process is used for housing, physical and mental health needs, developmental services, financial assistance, employment, and education services through collaborations with other community organizations. Weekly parent education classes focus on three areas: parenting skills, wellness and nutrition, and life skills. One-on-one parent meetings occur regularly with family case managers, teachers, and home visits.
$312,530 spent$492,400 earned by the program10% of program spendingThe advocacy program advocates for the social change necessary to break the cycle of homelessness. This is accomplished by empowering a group of parents with the lived experience of homelessness so that they can be self-advocates and speak directly to policy makers. The group is trained and facilitated by a dedicated staff member. Cln also leads a coalition of non-profit, educational, and governmental entities to advance early childhood education as a means of breaking the cycle of homelessness for children and families. The coalition engages in community assessments, strategic planning sessions and implementation of programs that create systemic changes to early childhood systems.

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 $2.2M to $4.5M (+101%).
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: 2017 68% · 2021 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
21% of CUIDANDO LOS NIOS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $21k → $368k.
13 of 42 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 64% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
CUIDANDO LOS NIOS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
70% 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 CUIDANDO LOS NIOS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 48% · 2018 38% · 2019 36% · 2020 33% · 2021 13% · 2022 36% · 2023 20% — 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.
How long its funders stay
41% of CUIDANDO LOS NIOS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% give in more than one year at all.
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
64% of CUIDANDO LOS NIOS INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1.4M that is directly attributable, 59% of it comes from funders outside New Mexico, across 15 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
