What Holt International Children's Services Inc does
Mission
Holt international is a christian organization guided by compassion and the highest ethical standards. We find and support permanent, loving families for children who are orphaned, abandoned, or at serious risk of family separation; provide services that help children grow and develop to their fullest potential; and lead the global community in advocating on behalf of the world's most vulnerable children.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
International programs - around the world, holt works alongside local partners to help vulnerable children, and help children reunite with their families or join families through adoption - either in their birth country or in the u.s. To develop, sustain and grow our international programs and services, holt teams collaborate with our partners to supply a variety of knowledge they need to provide better nutrition for the children in their care - especially children with special medical or physical needs. In many countries, holt also helps facilitate job skills training and donor-funded microloan programs to help struggling families earn a stable income and independently provide for their children. In 2025, through holt's international programs and support, 40,235 children received the vital services they needed to remain or reunite with their birth families. Our child-centered orphan and vulnerablechildren care programs made it possible for 3,794 children to receive nurturing care in holt foster families, group home or care centers. Another 25,964 children and young adults received educational support -many of the girls at risk of dropping out of school due to gender…

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 $25M to $19M (−25%).
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: 2021 7% · 2023 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

25 of 111 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% 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 HOLT INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 111 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
HOLT INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S SERVICES INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% 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
61% 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 HOLT INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 48% · 2018 23% · 2019 25% · 2020 26% · 2021 27% · 2022 15% · 2023 16% — 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
43% of HOLT INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
53% of HOLT INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S SERVICES 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 $4.6M that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from funders outside Oregon, across 33 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 19 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.
