Ceased youth pregnancy prevention education services to focus on Parenting Education programming.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Parenting Support:Through our Parenting Support Program, Hope Cottage served 1,347 parenting clients with children under 3yrs old across North Texas, 1,977 children attended classes with their parent/guardian. Classes were held in collaboration with nine (9) trusted community partners in under-resourced neighborhoods such as South Dallas, Vickery Meadow, Carrollton/Farmers Branch, and West Dallas. More than 75% of clients are low-income Spanish-speaking mothers, participating in parenting cohorts that now help educate and support others. Families received evidence-based parenting education, baby needs assistance (diapers, wipes, car seats), and direct referrals to housing, health, and financial resources. We distributed 221,300 diapers and 35,600 other baby necessities to parents in classes. The classes are co-located with client choice food pantries and other partner services our outreach specialists provide personal referrals to trusted resources, and case management to families with more complex needs.
$918,491 spent49% of program spendingFoster Care:Hope Cottage provided 6,173 nights of trauma-informed foster care, case management and placement support to 20 children in foster care this year. We licensed 14 new foster families and maintained high placement stability. In 2024, we began implementation of the states new T3C (Texas Transformation to Community-Based Care) system, which standardizes reporting, training, and funding expectations across providers. While this transition increases compliance demands and operating costs, Hope Cottage remains committed to meeting the highest standards of care and permanency planning for children in our community. Six (6) children were adopted by their foster parents. Our team was recognized by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services for high standards in placement stability and responsiveness.

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 2022 to 2023, from $8.5M to $10M (+23%).
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 12% · 2024 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
52% of HOPE COTTAGE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $170k → $343k.
10 of 46 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 HOPE COTTAGE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 46 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
HOPE COTTAGE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
39% 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 HOPE COTTAGE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 50% · 2019 27% · 2020 43% · 2021 48% · 2022 27% · 2023 41% — 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.
How long its funders stay
42% of HOPE COTTAGE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
96% of HOPE COTTAGE INC's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $580k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
