Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The family resource center provides a safe place where your family can connect with both services and support. Programs are tailored to reflect the needs of the families in the community. The goal is to help create stability for families by connecting them with community resources like schools, other local non-profit services, community partners, government agencies and faith communities.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
As of december 2024, the parent support outreach program (psop), a state funded voluntary program for families, and the two support groups - adoptive, foster care and kinship - were ended. There is a support group now offered through the family resource center (frc), but it is through an outside organization.

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 2021 to 2022, from $375k to $699k (+86%).
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 0% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 10% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
5% of MAIN STREET FAMILY SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
