What Imua Family Services does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During the fiscal year ending june 30, 2025, the organization took over the na keiki o emalia program for another hawaii nonprofit entity, and carried on the activities as part of its own mission. Additionally, the organization undertook the sentry malama na keiki initiative project.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Infant and child development program - is designed to provide early intervention services that meet the developmental needs of children birth to three years of age and their families related to enhancing the child's physical, intellectual, social, emotional and linguistic growth. The philosophy that guides imua's early intervention program is centered on a model revolving around three principles: enhancing the child's development, providing support and assistance to the family through coaching and modeling and maximizing the child's and family's potential in society. A family-centered team approach is utilized where all team members participate equally and systematically across discipline boundaries to ensure imua stays true to this philosophy along with other appropriate techniques such as the primary service provider approach and coaching model. Approximately 342 children were served in fy 2025.
$1,485,677 spent39% of program spendingImua discovery garden: imua discovery garden is not a program by itself but will be an expansion of all of the imua services and programs. The critical difference is that the six acre garden space centrally located in maui's historic district will allow therapists, educators and service providers to provide clinical and educational services in an outdoor nature based environment. This kind of philosophy and treatment is a growing model across the nation and the world as more and more children are staying indoors and are more connected to technology and devices than the outdoors and nature around them which is contributing to more increase in behavior issues in children. Imua discovery garden is currently in the beginning stages of development and planning. With the launch of the capital campaign in july of 2020, the focus has been on sharing the potential and vision for the space with prospective donors, businesses and supporters in order to raise the necessary capital to fully create the vision for the discovery garden.

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 2020 to 2021, from $4.6M to $8.3M (+79%).
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: 2017 70% · 2018 59% · 2019 63% · 2020 40% · 2021 57% · 2022 38% · 2023 65% · 2024 39% · 2025 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of IMUA FAMILY SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 38 funders, grant income rose $139k → $931k.
16 of 72 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 42% 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 IMUA FAMILY SERVICES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 72 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
IMUA FAMILY SERVICES has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% 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 IMUA FAMILY SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 24% · 2019 34% · 2020 30% · 2021 17% · 2022 16% · 2023 27% — 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
47% of IMUA FAMILY SERVICES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
63% of IMUA FAMILY SERVICES's grant income comes from Hawaii funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
