What Kidz2leaders Inc does
Mission
Kidz2leaders exists to break the cycle of incarceration by providing stability, opportunity and a christian community for children of inmates. We accomplish this by helping them rise above their circumstances, enpowering them to become leaders and providing a life of hope through intentional, faith-based programming in a loving environment. Our 10-year program continuum is designed to cultivate long-term, supportive relationships, beginning with children at age eight and serving them and their families through young adulthood. We believe it is only through this long-term commitment that we can truly end generational incarceration. Young adults who complete our decade of programming are on a trajectory toward living their lives free from incarceration and contributing positively to their communities. Programs are provided at no charge to our participants.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Camp hope: camp hope is a six-day, overnight camp that gives prisoners' children who live in the metro-atlanta area a week filled with love, activities, and fellowship. The purpose is to develop and foster trusting christian relationships with children of inmates by engaging them in a fun, worshipful and a safe environment. The lower camp, called cornerstone, is our entry point into these kids and their families' lives, and only accepts first-year attendees at the 4th or 5th grade level. Once children attend camp, we work with them throughout their childhood and youth to change the direction of their lives. We offer ongoing opportunities at camp for accepting christ and for development of servant leadership skills. The leadership training academy (lta) portion of camp hope is by invitation for those campers who successfully complete cornerstone and consists of rising seventh, eighth and ninth graders. Lta builds on the foundation set forth in cornerstone. This camp engages corporate leaders, motivational speakers, and professional athletes to speak to, work with and encourage our campers to become christian servant leaders. Lta campers participate in team building exercises to…
$521,003 spent$19,625 earned by the program51% of program spendingInterns4tomorrow: this program places students in paid summer internships with atlanta-area businesses. Interns4tomorrow is by invitation only to our older students who have successfully completed the first six years of kidz2leaders programming and who have served as a counselor at camp hope. Benefits the students receive include preparedness to reach career and life goals, as well as leadership, financial, job, and life skills to disentangle from government reliance and break free from the cycle of incarceration. The interns attend retreats and business and college field trips. These youth are acting as agents of change in their families and communities where incarceration and dependency on government funds is a way of life.
$137,831 spent14% of program spendingThe camper-turned-counselor: the program assists in transitioning the camper into a successful counselor by offering opportunities to improve leadership skills and increase confidence. By offering two weekend camping retreats a year with opportunity for spiritual growth and improved teambuilding, the camper- turned-counselors are better able to model christ-like behavior for their campers. These events provide the staff with a greater understanding of the students' daily lives and circumstances to better support them during the year and at camp hope.
$336,473 spent33% of program spendingBeginning in 2016, kidz2leaders started holding family retreat weekends. The families play, bike, cook, fish, climb, paint and worship together. Parents and custodians spend time in bible study and sharing groups. These semi-annual events provide meals, lodging, bus transportation, and all activities and supplies to the participating families. Campers are reunited with their friends in a familiar camp-like setting and parents and custodians share food, fellowship and fun with others. Other kidz2leaders programs include hope4christmas party for our campers where they are reunited with their counselors, celebrate the season, and receive gifts and grocery certificates. Kidz2leaders also host field trips with fun activities for our campers throughout the year.

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 2022 to 2023, from $640k to $960k (+50%).
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 7% · 2021 22%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of KIDZ2LEADERS INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 30 funders, grant income rose $359k → $549k.
13 of 54 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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 KIDZ2LEADERS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 54 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
KIDZ2LEADERS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
65% 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 KIDZ2LEADERS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 61% · 2018 54% · 2019 57% · 2020 40% · 2021 38% · 2022 38% · 2023 28% — 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
44% of KIDZ2LEADERS INC'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
56% of KIDZ2LEADERS INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1.2M that is directly attributable, 62% of it comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
