What Project Camp Inc does
Mission
Instilling inspiration and empowerment, while enhancing the lives of children with serious illnesses.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We are a medical camp which serves children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses and their families, free of charge. Through our summer camps and family retreats we are able to provide our campers with respite, recreation and education. Summer camps are week-long, overnight sessions which serves children (ages 7 - 16) and allows them to attend with other children who share the same or similar illness. Family retreats are held throughout the year and allows the children (ages 5 - 17) and their families to attend camp together. Our focus is to provide these courageous kids with experiences which will improve their quality of life now as well as in the future.

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 $19M to $20M (+5%).
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: 2020 3% · 2022 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of PROJECT CAMP INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 25 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $2.6M → $4.3M.
13 of 79 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 PROJECT CAMP INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 79 funders by total. 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
PROJECT CAMP INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 85% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 91% · 2019 70% · 2020 86% · 2021 86% · 2022 81% · 2023 90% — 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.
How long its funders stay
40% of PROJECT CAMP INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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.
Where its funders are
PROJECT CAMP INC draws 94% of its grant income from funders outside Kentucky, across 22 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.

PROJECT CAMP INC holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 4,665 health nonprofits its size.
