What Kidstlc Inc does
Mission
Transforming the lives of children and families in our community with a continuum of care.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Youth in kidstlc's psychiatric residential treatment facility (prtf) have complex mental health diagnoses, and many have a history of childhood trauma, abuse or neglect, as well as disrupted attachments. Many are now being raised by foster parents, adoptive parents or grandparents and other relatives. Residential treatment allows kidstlc to reduce destructive behaviors, redirect the attitudes and feelings which contribute to these behaviors, provide a safe environment and resolve the emotional effects of abuse/neglect. We provide a supportive environment for learning positive ways of interacting with others. Clients learn about the freedom to make choices and to accept responsibility for those choices as well as the ensuing consequences. All of these steps prepare each client for discharge and re-integration into the community. Program services are offered to each client through an individualized plan of care, treatment goals and objectives developed in response to the client's needs. Kidstlc uses a range of gold-standard treatment in our therapeutic work, including evidence-based powerhouse modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt), dialectical behavioral therapy (dbt),…

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.
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 $24M to $30M (+27%).
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 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 8% · 2022 1% · 2023 1% · 2024 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
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 17 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $607k → $2.4M.
15 of 70 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 KIDSTLC INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 70 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
KIDSTLC INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 31% 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 39% · 2019 21% · 2020 56% · 2021 85% · 2022 21% · 2023 71% — 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
33% of KIDSTLC INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
50% of KIDSTLC INC's grant income comes from Kansas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $662k arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
