What Launch does
Mission
Launch Therapy Center provides comprehensive pediatric therapy and family support services that improve access, developmental outcomes, and quality of life for children with disabilities and developmental delays throughout Louisianas Capital Region.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Pediatric Therapy Services: Launch Therapy Center provides comprehensive speech, occupational, and physical therapy services to children with developmental disabilities, delays, neurological conditions, orthopedic conditions, autism spectrum disorder, and other special healthcare needs. During 2025, Launch provided nearly 24,000 therapy visits to more than 1,100 children and adolescents throughout Louisianas Capital Region. More than 70% of children served relied on Medicaid coverage for access to medically necessary therapy services. Therapy services are individualized to improve communication, mobility, feeding skills, sensory regulation, independence, social participation, and overall developmental outcomes in home, school, and community settings. Launch continued expanding access to pediatric therapy services in a region experiencing significant provider shortages and extended wait times for children requiring developmental intervention services.

During 2025, Launch continued supporting hundreds of families through caregiver guidance, developmental resource navigation, school collaboration, and referrals to community-based services. The organization also provided social opportunities, inclusion activities, and family-centered support programs that help address social determinants of health impacting developmental progress and long-term outcomes. Launch delivered more than $578,000 in unreimbursed therapy services and support during 2025 to ensure children could continue receiving care regardless of financial limitations or insurance barriers.

During 2025, the organization continued outreach and partnership efforts focused on improving early intervention access, caregiver support, and developmental resources throughout underserved communities. Demand for pediatric therapy services in the region continued to exceed available capacity, with more than 400 children remaining on the organizations waitlist during the year. In response to growing community need, Launch continued planning and fundraising efforts for a new pediatric therapy facility designed to significantly expand service capacity, reduce wait times, and improve access to pediatric therapy services across the region.

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 $435k to $1.2M (+187%).
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 4% · 2021 21% · 2022 6% · 2023 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
19% of Launch’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $258 → $190k.
4 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 Launch’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
Launch leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
45% 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 Launch.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 77% · 2022 99% · 2023 79% — 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
50% of Launch's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 78% 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
84% of Launch's grant income comes from Louisiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $295k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
