What Little Lobbyists Family Alliance does
Mission
Little lobbyists seek to protect and expand the rights of children who have complex medical needs and disabilities through advocacy, education, and outreach.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Little lobbyists advocates for the rights and well-being of children with complex medical needs and disabilities. Our work is guided by three pillars: building community, educating to empower, and sharing our stories to create cultural change. Through the building community pillar, we aim to re-energize and grow a supportive network of families, providing solidarity, education, and advocacy. In the education to empower pillar, we develop an online curriculum designed specifically for families, empowering them with knowledge and insights to navigate their unique circumstances. Lastly, the sharing of our stories to create a cultural change pillar encourages families to share their experiences, fostering acceptance, understanding, and the normalization of disability. Together, these pillars form the foundation of our comprehensive approach, so that the government champions policies and laws that safeguard the well-being and future of all children.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $77k to $475k (+517%).
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 FAMILY ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).

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
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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 FAMILY ALLIANCE’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 FAMILY ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% 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
73% 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 FAMILY ALLIANCE.
“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
73% of LITTLE LOBBYISTS FAMILY ALLIANCE'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 $131k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $350k 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.
