What Southwest Key Programs Inc does
Mission
The mission is opening doors to opportunity, so individuals can achieve their dreams.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Fiscal year 2025 represented an extraordinary transition year for the organization. During the fiscal year, substantially all cooperative agreements supporting the organization's uac program were terminated by orr. As a result, the organization undertook an orderly wind-down of those operations, including closure of facilities and significant workforce reductions. The organization also continued to satisfy grant close-out responsibilities and other contractual and regulatory obligations while pursuing available administrative and legal remedies relating to grant termination, reimbursement, grant close-out activities, and other grant-related matters. These events materially affected the organization's operations and financial results during the fiscal year.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
For more than 20 years, southwest key programs has been an integral partner in the u.s. Response to the immigration crisis at our southern border, sheltering immigrant children under 18 years of age who arrive in this country without a parent or guardian and unifying them with their parents, relatives, or a sponsor. Southwest key's unaccompanied minor (um) shelters are part of a federal shelter system that was created as a result of the 1997 flores settlement agreement. Our um shelters are funded by the department of health and human services. Others were escaping poverty, searching for refuge after natural disasters, or seeking unification with family members already in the u.s. Within 24 hours of a child's arrival at a southwest key facility, our case managers begin working on the process of unification. First, we contact the child's family in his or her home country and then reach out to the child's contacts and prospective sponsors in the u.s. While potential sponsors are screened, southwest key provides children with care that allows them to thrive in a safe, home-like, and nurturing environment. Within 48 hours of entering our facilities, all children receive full medical…

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 $132M to $203M (+54%).
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 99% · 2018 98% · 2019 99% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 99% · 2024 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of SOUTHWEST KEY PROGRAMS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (17% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
SOUTHWEST KEY PROGRAMS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
91% 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 SOUTHWEST KEY PROGRAMS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 79% · 2019 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43k 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.
