Programs
Respite: Ryan House provides family respite services to arizona children with life- limiting and terminal conditions. Respite care is a gift of time; short- term overnight stays allow families to take critical breaks from the physical, emotional, psycho-social stress and around-the-clock challenges of caring for a child who is medically complex. It is the solution for renewed energies, as regular "time off" is essential to prevent family fatigue and breakdown and costly emergency room visits for emergency respite. Care is concurrent with curative treatments and coordinated with the child's primary care physician. Ryan House offers resources and support programs for siblings to interact with other children whose brothers and sisters have similar needs. At Ryan House, children and families can receive up to 28 days of respite care per year at no cost to the family. Six individual bedrooms and one family suite are available for family respite services. During fiscal year 2025, 136 children received family respite services and 1,425 days of respite care were provided.

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 2020 to 2021, from $4.9M to $6.1M (+25%).
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 4% · 2018 7% · 2019 9% · 2020 2% · 2021 21% · 2022 24% · 2023 15% · 2024 11% · 2025 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
85% of RYAN HOUSE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 27 funders to 47 funders, grant income rose $353k → $702k.
23 of 131 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 RYAN HOUSE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 131 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
RYAN HOUSE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 11% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
65% 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 RYAN HOUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 18% · 2018 25% · 2019 16% · 2020 26% · 2021 12% · 2022 48% · 2023 13% — 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
43% of RYAN HOUSE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
78% of RYAN HOUSE's grant income comes from Arizona funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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.
Against its field
RYAN HOUSE's funding base is broadening — from 27 funders to 47 as grant income climbed.
