Programs
Parent leadership training institute, children's leadership training institute, national training, leadership development/alumni: parent leadership training institute (plti) is a transformative national initiative that offers a free 20-week training program. It equips parents and caregivers with the tools to become effective advocates for children and agents of positive change in their communities. Successfully implemented in over 80 communities across the u.s. And one city in australia, plti has been a pioneer in fostering parent leadership. Clti is a vibrant and enriching initiative designed for children aged 3 to 12. As a parallel course to the parent leadership training institute (plti), clti provides a unique opportunity for children to engage in civic education alongside their parents, fostering a family-centric and multi-generation approach to community involvement and leadership. Each year we hold a national training to equip communities with the knowledge to implement plti & clti. Our work with communities includes supporting clti & plti alumni in providing learning opportunities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $2.0M to $1.6M (−21%).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $377k 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.
