What Every Child Succeeds does
Mission
Every Child Succeeds is based on a strong scientific foundation demonstrating that a nurturing and stimulating environment in the first 1,000 days of life promotes optimal brain growth, cognitive development, psycho-social adjustment, emotional and behavioral health, and a significant, long term change in child and family trajectories.Every Child Succeeds draws upon research in child health, brain development, social ecology and prevention science to deliver a high quality, strong program. Principles and findings from a variety of disciplines and theoretical perspectives will be used to support both the program objectives and services provided.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Every Child Succeeds is an evidence-based prevention program that works with at-risk families during the critical developmental period, ages zero to three. Every Child Succeeds partners with families and communities to strengthen family well-being, support healthy environments, and optimize infant and toddler development. From inception through June 30, 2025, Every Child Succeeds provided 800,506 home visits and served 31,709 families. The program follows the standards of three national evidence-based home visitation models and ensures implementation with fidelity: Healthy Families America and Nurse Family Partnership in Ohio and HANDS in Kentucky. Focus areas of the program across models include maternal and child health, parental attachment, early literacy/pre-school readiness, social emotional development, referrals and linkages with other services, family self-sufficiency and stress reduction. Content is delivered by over 100 professional, well-trained home visitors (supported by approximately 25 staff and supervisors) who visit families between 2-4 times a month, developing and executing a family plan; delivering an evidence-based curriculum; promoting good decision-making…

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 2019 to 2020, from $5.8M to $7.5M (+29%).
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.
28% of Every Child Succeeds’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% 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 6 funders to 18 funders, grant income fell $2.5M → $1.8M.
6 of 42 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 Every Child Succeeds’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 42 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
Every Child Succeeds leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 Every Child Succeeds.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 59% · 2019 74% · 2020 51% · 2021 63% · 2022 86% · 2023 37% — 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
38% of Every Child Succeeds's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% 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
93% of Every Child Succeeds's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
