What Keystone Kidspace does
Mission
Keystone Kidspace was founded in 2013 to create a hub for child-centered active, educational programming for families with children of all ages. The programming is designed to meet the needs of the more than 50,000 families residing in york county, plus additional visitors from outside the area. By partnering with non-profits around the region, Keystone Kidspace will be a magnet that will bring families into york city, not only providing educational opportunities, but also supporting economic development in york city downtown core. The facility will be a hybrid, fee-based program combining revenues from memberships and admissions, with rental income from complimentary family-centris programs, retail and or restaurant tenants.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Active space for children: Keystone Kidspace provides an indoor environment for physical activity, confidence building and skills buildings. This facility provides a safe, self-contained environment for children to exercise both their bodies and minds.hands on educational programs and exhibits: through flexible gallery space, Keystone Kidspace will partner with high-quality providers to bring diverse content to the community. Exhibits are active and experimential, with educational content in the arts, science, math and music. This type of programming is currently not broadly available to our community. Flexible space for complimentary family centric programming: many smaller children's programs have limited options for programming space (I.e. Educational camps, lego programs, robotic programs, art classes, writing workshops, etc.) these flexible spaces provide classroom options for smaller groups on a short-term basis. In turn, Keystone Kidspace provides assistnce with audience development and marketing.

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 $3.7M to $8.4M (+125%).
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: 2020 11% · 2021 38% · 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of KEYSTONE KIDSPACE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 12 funders, grant income rose $10k → $176k.
6 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 KEYSTONE KIDSPACE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 25 of 26 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
KEYSTONE KIDSPACE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% 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
28% 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 KEYSTONE KIDSPACE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 80% · 2019 68% · 2020 28% · 2021 31% · 2022 29% · 2023 32% — 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
55% of KEYSTONE KIDSPACE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
85% of KEYSTONE KIDSPACE's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $856k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
