What Operation Open Arms Inc does
Program
Operation open arms is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of children with incarcerated parents. Our mission is to improve the lives of children with incarcerated parents and vulnerable children by providing a loving, nurturing, and stable home environment while concurrently coordinating essential services for their parents. Ooa provides three unique programs (incarceration support, recovery support, and adoption services) and a kids clothes closet. Our programs, delivered by master's level social workers, provide temporary homes for children, respite care, and case management. Our staff continue providing support services for up to two years after family reunification with the goal of stabilization and a foundation of support. Our vision is to reduce trauma in the lives of children and mothers.

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 2022 to 2023, from $135k to $251k (+86%).
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.

How long its funders stay
33% of OPERATION OPEN ARMS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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.

OPERATION OPEN ARMS INC draws 95% of its grant income from funders outside Kentucky, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $93k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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
OPERATION OPEN ARMS INC's funding has concentrated — grant income rose while the number of funders held roughly flat.
