Program
At early childhood innovative connections, we work hard to make sure that our next generation of leaders get off to a great start. Our participants are early childhood education providers, teacher and support organizations with a vested interest in strengthening today's children for tomorrow's challenges. By joining our efforts and pooling our resources, our shared services alliance helps our member programs become more highly trained, more efficient and more cost-effective for the parents and children we serve. By working together to strengthen each other, we strengthen the next generation.

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 2017 to 2018, from $44k to $43k (−2%).
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 79% · 2018 67%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
