What Hope for Children Foundation does
Mission
Prevention of cruelty to children: Provide proactive, prevention & intervention education to 1st responders, offering a shield of protection to prevent child abuse and help prevent child victims from falling through the cracks of the legal system. Offer referrals of education, legal, medical, food, shelter to public via online services and training, and in person training to the general public located each state of the nation free of charge. This is accomplished through our website: hopeforchildrenfoundation.org
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Year 2024 more than 1000000 individual users and visitors accessed information from the website of Hope for Children Foundation in the United States at no charge from Hope for Children Foundation. They accessed the educational, life skills resources or referrals. Some of this access was accomplished through the help of a sizeable Noncash advertising grant targeting the United States. We also conducted a toy drive and Hope For Children Gala and over 1,466 children were provided at least one gift each. We offered free online video and website training to the general public throughout the United States supported through a NON CASH advertising grant in the amount of $25,667, it was expended for our program services to enhance the quality of life for children, teens, families and other adults. This NON CASH donation is instructed by the IRS not to be included as income to the charity since it is an NON CASH advertising donation. Therefore this amount is not included in the total income or expense for 2024 990 tax return.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $1k to $15k (+964%).
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.
100% of HOPE FOR CHILDREN FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).

Where its funders are
HOPE FOR CHILDREN FOUNDATION draws 84% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 4 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $676 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
