What Partnership for Americas Children does
Mission
The mission of the partnership for america's children (the partnership) is to engage, empower, and invest in a network of state and local child advocates who advance transformative, systemic, and equitable policy change for the well-being of every child across the nation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The partnership for america's children is a national network of over 40 independent, multi-issue child advocacy organizations across 38 states. Our goal is to support and strengthen state and local child advocacy organizations in their work to improve policies and outcomes for children and families. The partnership connects its members to one another and to national partners through convenings, webinars, peer learning, and technical assistance that build advocacy skills, policy expertise, and organizational capacity. It also administers regrants, links members with philanthropic partners, and leads national initiatives such as count all kids. In 2024, the partnership provided 19 training and peer learning opportunities, reached more than 750 advocates nationwide with reports, briefs, and data, and administered over half a million dollars in regrants to support state and local advocacy campaigns.

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 2019 to 2020, from $1.8M to $3.4M (+88%).
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.
90% of PARTNERSHIP FOR AMERICAS CHILDREN’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

36% of PARTNERSHIP FOR AMERICAS CHILDREN's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
