Programs
Foster care:depelchin believes every child deserves a safe, loving and healing home. Through its foster care program, depelchin partners with couples and individuals to provide temporary care for children removed from their birth families because of abuse, neglect or abandonment. Depelchin understands that each child has its unique family of origin, experiences and needs for permanency. Some children will return to their birth-families, some will be placed with kin and others will be available for adoption. Depelchin provides the support necessary for all children in its care to find a forever family. Depelchin's support includes recruiting, training, and coaching foster families to address the on-going needs of a child (see continuation on schedule o)who has experienced trauma; partnering with child protective services to safely return a child to a healthy birth family; or assist with the consummation of adoption.

When children in foster care cannot be safely reunited with their birth families, adoption is often the most desirable goal. Most of the children adopted from foster care are adopted by foster parents. In depelchin's foster care adoption program, depelchin partners with couples and individuals who are interested in building or expanding their families by adopting the children they have parented through foster care. The individuals and couples receive training and support that prepares them as both foster and adoptive parents. This integration of foster care and adoption helps to reduce the traumatic effect of losses experienced by the child while in foster care by limiting the number of placement moves from one family to another. It also expedites the process for achieving permanency for children. Through its private infant adoption program, depelchin supports couples and individuals desiring to adopt an infant. In addition, depelchin works with birth parents considering placing their child with a loving, adoptive family. In 2024, depelchin placed 78 children for…

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 $82M to $118M (+43%).
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: 2019 22% · 2020 21% · 2021 27% · 2022 23% · 2023 20% · 2024 27%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
62% of DEPELCHIN CHILDREN'S CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 44 funders to 84 funders, grant income rose $4.1M → $7.9M.
19 of 169 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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: $27M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Foundation for Depelchin Children's Center). These are real filings, and they are not money DEPELCHIN CHILDREN'S CENTER raised.
From the IRS filings of DEPELCHIN CHILDREN'S CENTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 169 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
DEPELCHIN CHILDREN'S CENTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
51% 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 DEPELCHIN CHILDREN'S CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 61% · 2019 51% · 2020 43% · 2021 26% · 2022 36% · 2023 25% — 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
48% of DEPELCHIN CHILDREN'S CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
95% of DEPELCHIN CHILDREN'S CENTER's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
