What Projectcamp does
Mission
Project:Camp provides care for children, relief for families, and resilience for communities impacted by natural disasters. Through our pop-up day camps after natural disasters we provide crucial social-emotional support for kids while parents navigate services and return to work. Through our organizing and preparedness work, we support communities to provide support for children and families in future disasters by bringing together multiple government agencies and community groups and build action plans in the event of future disasters.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Our Pop-Up Day Camp programs are free, trauma-informed pop-up day camps that provide for kids in the immediate aftermath of natural disasters. Project:Camp was established in response to several types of natural disasters, including wildfires, tornadoes, and hurricanes and provided almost 17,271 hours of free childcare to families in Oklahoma, Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, and North Carolina. We were able to accomplish our mission with the help of 2375 volunteer hours from local community childcare professionals, including teachers, camp counselors, and after school program staff. A significant portion of the 2024 funding supporting this program have grant periods that cross into the next fiscal year.
$393,527 spent$699,075 earned by the program63% of program spendingThe Organizing and Preparedness work helps engage a network of local government and community groups to build emergency action plans and train volunteers and emergency managers to provide care for children in wake of natural disasters. Through support from and community organizations across the United States, the Organization is building the capacity to provide care for children before natural disasters strike. This work ensures that the training and relationships necessary to do this work are in place quicker. Community-based organizations ensure that this work is reflective of the priorities and cultural sensitivities of each community.
$59,407 spent$59,407 earned by the program10% of program spendingThe work through Networking and Conferences is aimed at directly engaging with local government officials and community-based organizations to put children at the center of disaster planning and response. The Organization builds agreements between these groups and trains volunteers and staff to elevate the needs of children in disasters. Providing direct support for children is supercharging a community's connection, furthering recovery from disaster. This requires bringing together the camping industry, schools, and emergency management to build a broad-based coalition of partners and integrate their best work.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $1.0M to $385k (−61%).
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: 2022 40% · 2023 59% · 2024 50%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of PROJECTCAMP’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (74% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $5k → $172k.
9 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 PROJECTCAMP’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 27 of 28 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
PROJECTCAMP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 64%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 PROJECTCAMP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 87% · 2022 55% · 2023 29% — diversifying over time.
“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
55% of PROJECTCAMP's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 32% 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
85% of PROJECTCAMP's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $458k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
