What Kids Included Together does
Mission
The Mission of KIT is to empower people and organziations who serve children to change their attitudes toward disabilities, and to provide knowledge, tools, and support they need to create welcoming environments for all children.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Kids Included Together (KIT) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in San Diego, California in 1997. The vision of KIT is that every child with a disability has the opportunity to realize their full potential in a community that welcomes, accepts, and supports them. The mission of KIT is to teach inclusive practices to people and organizations that serve children. KIT provides services to YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs, Girl Scouts, State and National Agencies, and United States military child and youth programs around the world. KIT uses a blended learning approach to professional development on disability inclusion and behavior support with best-in-class in-person training, a sophisticated online learning center, and a call-in support center. KIT is an accredited provider of Continuing Education Units through the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).

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 $1.5M to $2.3M (+51%).
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: 2019 0% · 2020 14% · 2022 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
3% of KIDS INCLUDED TOGETHER’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 6 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $87k → $102k.
4 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 KIDS INCLUDED TOGETHER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 12 of 13 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
KIDS INCLUDED TOGETHER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
26% 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 KIDS INCLUDED TOGETHER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 58% · 2018 59% · 2019 60% · 2020 73% · 2021 60% · 2022 52% · 2023 69% — growing more concentrated.
“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
30% of KIDS INCLUDED TOGETHER'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
64% of KIDS INCLUDED TOGETHER's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $282k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
KIDS INCLUDED TOGETHER's funding has concentrated — grant income rose while the number of funders held roughly flat.
