Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Starbright foundation ceased to have a foster home in 2024, and devotes its resources to rescuing children from child trafficking situations and educating the public.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The cost center 4a - Program One should read as follows:House of Hope: Primarily provides support services for at-risk and trafficked youth via teen events serving foster children, retrieved missing children, trafficked children and children struggling to assimilate into their society. Events focus on teaching life and social skills and providing a fun, safe location with activities for children to build meaningful friendships and trusting relationships with adult role models, and include biweekly teen nights, cooking classes, equine therapy, meeting place for counseling or sibling visitations.
$175,234 spent100% of program spendingCost center 4b - Program Two:Education and Training: outreach focused on educating teens on positive decision-making skills, including sex trafficking awareness and prevention. Classes are held at schools, churches, community centers, youth facilities, businesses and service groups. Outreach also includes providing schools in impoverished neighborhoods where children are in crisis need with supplies such as backpacks, food, and hygiene kits, estimating 12,000 items distributed in 2024. Attendees include first responders, teachers, case workers, foster parents, parents, church leaders, and social service groups. Awareness for care givers and students is provided to help prevent trafficking, pornography, and exploitation of children through better tools and understanding of social media and internet safety practices.

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 $562k to $617k (+10%).
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.
98% of STARBRIGHT FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $425 → $13k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% 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 STARBRIGHT FOUNDATION INC’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
STARBRIGHT FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 STARBRIGHT FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 97% · 2018 97% · 2019 100% · 2020 97% · 2021 45% · 2022 53% · 2023 92% — 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
50% of STARBRIGHT FOUNDATION INC'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
83% of STARBRIGHT FOUNDATION INC'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 $49k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Arizona, across 5 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $243k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
