Pfsa provides training for mandated reporters on child abuse recognition and reporting so they can best protect pa's children, their organization and know their legal protections and liabilities as mandated reporters outlined in the law. Training is provided in person to more than 25,000 individuals annually and thousands more through a web based on line program.

$875,948 spent$83,000 earned by the program68% of program spendingPfsa believes every person has a role to play in keeping children safe, however, most individuals do not instinctively know how to respond when they feel a child is not safe. Pfsa offers community groups a research informed training called the front porch project designed to give concrete examples for intervening in public or in the community when a child is at risk for maltreatment.
Pfsa designed and introduced families in recovery, a parenting program for parents in recovery from substance use disorder. The program is designed to be delivered in 7 sessions at 2 hours per session with flexible program implementation. Pfsa provides training, ongoing technical assistance, data collection assistance and outcome reports. This program is offered throughout pa and in many other states.

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 2024 to 2025, from $2.9M to $3.7M (+26%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 75% · 2018 70% · 2019 71% · 2020 71% · 2021 82% · 2022 86% · 2023 84% · 2024 87% · 2025 85%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $23k → $49.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% 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 PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY SUPPORT ALLIANCE’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
PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY SUPPORT ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
92% 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 PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY SUPPORT ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 69% · 2019 83% · 2020 47% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
50% of PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY SUPPORT ALLIANCE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $56k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $56k 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.
