For children unable to return home, tfi works towards a timely adoption or other permanency option.

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 2024 to 2025, from $21M to $47M (+129%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
74% 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 TFI FAMILY SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 80% · 2018 47% · 2019 80% · 2020 36% · 2021 91% · 2022 34% · 2023 51% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $251k 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.
