What National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome does
Mission
To provide educational services and training in regard to preventing shaken baby syndrome.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
During the reporting period, the organization launched a formal volunteer program to expand community engagement and increase public awareness of shaken baby syndrome prevention. This program recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to represent the organization at community events, including health and safety fairs, educational outreach opportunities, and local awareness campaigns. Volunteers assist with distributing prevention materials, engaging with families and caregivers, and promoting safe infant care practices. The program enhances the organization's capacity to reach broader audiences, strengthens community partnerships, and supports its mission to prevent shaken baby syndrome through education and awareness.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
During the reporting period, the organization discontinued its direct administration of the click for babies campaign, a public awareness initiative of the period of purple crying program. While the organization no longer hosts the campaign, it will continue to support partners that choose to implement it in their communities by providing guidance and resources.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Create, improve, and distribute electronic and print versions of several programs regarding the prevention of shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma,and infant safety and health education for families and professionals that serve them. These programs include the period of purple crying program, the childcare providers training, prevention implementation training, school-based program, and various resource materials such as magnets, brochures, bookmarks, and videos. In total, over 500,000 families were provided these educational resources.

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 $942k to $631k (−33%).
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: 2021 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
16% of NATIONAL CENTER ON SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
