What National Child Safety Council does
Mission
Our mission at National Child Safety Council (ncsc) is to prevent needless accidents and to help save lives by providing local law enforcement departments with meaningful safety educational materials and programs for children, adults, and seniors. Ncsc leads the industry by providing thousands of public safety organizations across the u.s. Over 4 million pieces of safety material annually. Ncsc is proud to say that it has been a law enforcement partner since 1955.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
National Child Safety Council, inc. (ncsc) provided approximately 1,000 child safety education programs in 40 states that reached over 1 million school aged children and their families in thousands of schools. The council develops and publishes child safety awareness and education material on topics such as general child safety, school bus safety, seat belt use, sex abuse and alcohol and drug abuse, as well as a full safety program for seniors.

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 2018 to 2019, from $2.2M to $2.6M (+20%).
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.
94% of NATIONAL CHILD SAFETY COUNCIL’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (70% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 11 funders to 25 funders, grant income rose $5k → $12k.
4 of 110 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
NATIONAL CHILD SAFETY COUNCIL has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 35% of grant income, and it takes 9 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 9 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 23% · 2019 20% · 2020 87% · 2021 17% · 2022 13% · 2023 14% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
10% of NATIONAL CHILD SAFETY COUNCIL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 39% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
NATIONAL CHILD SAFETY COUNCIL draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Michigan, across 32 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states 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.
Against its field
NATIONAL CHILD SAFETY COUNCIL's funding base is broadening — from 11 funders to 25 as grant income climbed.
