What Little Lobbyists Action Network does
Mission
Little Lobbyists Action Network (llan) is a group of families with children who have complex medical needs and disabilities. We advocate to protect and expand their rights through education, outreach, and policy change. Born in response to harmful legislation, we meet with lawmakers often with our children and their medical equipment to show the real-life impact of programs like the aca, medicaid, ada, and idea. Our goal is to ensure children with complex medical needs can access the health care, education, and inclusion they need to thrive. We also empower other families to engage in advocacy at the local and state level.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
To be strong and effective advocates. Llan seeks to educate legislators about our community by showing up in-person with our disabled children so everyone can see first-hand who is impacted by laws and programs like the aca, medicaid, ada, and idea. Llan also seeks to educate our community of families about legislation that impacts children with complex medical needs and disabilities and empower them to engage with state and local government to make their voices heard. Llan's mission is to protect and expand the rights of children who have complex medical needs and disabilities through advocacy, education, and outreach. Our vision is that all children with complex medical needs and disabilities will have access to health care, education, and community inclusion they need to survive and thrive.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $62k to $83k (+35%).
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.
100% of LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $25k → $10k.
1 of 3 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 LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK’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
LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
56% of LITTLE LOBBYISTS ACTION NETWORK'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 $20k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
