What Missouri Parents Act does
Mission
Empowering missouri families of children and youth with disabilities (birth through age 26) through free training, resources, and support to improve educational outcomes and ease the transition to adult life.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Parent mentor program:the parent mentor program provides direct support and assistance to parents, through trained volunteers, in preparing for their child's iep. Parent mentors help parents prepare for meetings and on request may attend the iep meeting with the parent. The role of a parent mentor is to empower the parent and assist the parent in becoming a strong educational advocate for their own child. Mpact parent mentors are screened and receive training and supervision from mpact staff.
$439,250 spent50% of program spendingParent training and information (pti) program:the pti program provides training and information to parents of children with disabilities and professionals who work with children with disabilities. While this program is primarily for the child's education rights through the u.s. Department of education's individuals with disabilities education act (idea 2004), mpact provides information and referral for anything disability related.
$424,461 spent$559,679 earned by the program48% of program spendingPathfinders program:the midwestern collaborative brings a unique opportunity for 8 pti centers (iowa, kansas, missouri, montana, nebraska, north dakota, south dakota, and wyoming) to explore, create, and celebrate statewide services that focus on the development of self-advocacy, self-discovery, and independence for youth with disabilities. Mpact works closely with professionals from both vocational rehabilitation centers and centers for independent living to bring collaborative and innovative services to guide youth with disabilities and their families to services centering on secondary transition and life after high school.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $239k to $344k (+44%).
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: 2017 61% · 2018 65% · 2019 65% · 2020 67% · 2021 46% · 2022 46% · 2023 44% · 2024 47% · 2025 43%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $48 → $21.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 MISSOURI PARENTS ACT’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
MISSOURI PARENTS ACT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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 MISSOURI PARENTS ACT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 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
MISSOURI PARENTS ACT draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Missouri, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $127 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.
