What Little Saint Nick Foundation Inc does
Mission
To make a difference in the lives of other children in and out of hospitals through relieving the fear, anxiety and isolation related to a hospital visit, as well as granting wishes to children in crisis.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The little saint nick foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 2 million kids since 2004. We center our impact in communities by providing simple, antianxiety gift bags that contain items such as coloring books, crayons, stuffed animals, popit toys and handmade getwell cards made by local kids that go to kids in need of a smile. These gift bags have an everyday impact by providing a positive distraction for patients, improving hospital employee morale, and empowering kids of all ages in communities to become future leaders. Over 130,000 of these gift bags have been distributed since 2012. With our current resources, we inspire and help over 300 people in communities and hospitals every day of the year, spreading our movement of "kids inspiring and helping kids".

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 2023 to 2024, from $456k to $294k (−36%).
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: 2018 5% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
78% of LITTLE SAINT NICK FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2k 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.
