What Pearls Foundation does
Mission
The mission of the PEARLS Foundation is to provide monetary support to the PEARLS and EAGLES Court Programs, providing resiliency and restorative services to teens in foster care. The monies raised by the PEARLS Foundation will be used for programming and service provision that are not funded from any other source. Budgetary items may include, but are not limited to, meals, mentor support and training, field trips, transportation for college visits, a high school graduation celebration of achievement and emergency funds for PEARLS Girls and EAGLES boys.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Over 53 youth in or recently in foster care, ages 14-21, are participating in PEARLS and EAGLES Court Programming in 2024. 86% were promoted to the next grade level. 92% progressed towards stable and permanent placement; 92% exhibited improved stress management; 98% chose to postpone parenthood; 89% avoided tobacco, alcohol and unprescribed drugs. 100% learned additional life skills to be more prepared to age out of foster care. The court programs met two times per month and held 4 weekend activities during the year. Court programming helps youth to value their whole selves and enhance their inherent strengths. The goals are to enable youth to heal from past trauma, build resilience, reach educational goals, develop healthy relationships, and become accomplished adults, role models, and leaders.

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 $112k to $187k (+67%).
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.
100% of PEARLS FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2022: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $1k → $10k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of PEARLS FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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
PEARLS FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
28% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund PEARLS FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
PEARLS FOUNDATION draws 80% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k 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.
Against its field
PEARLS FOUNDATION runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 4,682 youth development nonprofits its size.
