What Educational Child Care Center does
Mission
Educational Child Care Center (ec3) provides developmentally appropriate child care in a nurturing environment that promotes growth of the whole child while responding to the needs of the family.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Ec3 achieved its mission of providing developmentally appropriate child care and education for young children (infants through preschoolers) throughout the fiscal year, serving an average of over 120 children from approximately 100 families. This nurturing environment was made possible by trained, experienced teaching staff using a co-teaching model across all age levels. Ec3 also fulfilled its mission of supporting families by offering center-wide and community events, hosting regular meetings, and addressing policy and operational issues as they arose.

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 2021 to 2022, from $533k to $1.0M (+94%).
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 6% · 2021 1% · 2022 1% · 2023 10% · 2024 8% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
3% of EDUCATIONAL CHILD CARE CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of EDUCATIONAL CHILD CARE CENTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
EDUCATIONAL CHILD CARE CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
54% 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 EDUCATIONAL CHILD CARE CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 94% · 2021 53% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
54% of EDUCATIONAL CHILD CARE CENTER'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 $58k that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from funders outside Michigan, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $67k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
