What The Children's House at Johns Hopkins Hospital Inc does
Mission
The Children's House mission is to provide a family-centered residence for critically-ill children receiving treatment at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Children's Center. We believe in keeping families together amid medical crisis to reduce stress and to promote self-help and mutual support. We believe in providing the highest standards of service and unparalleled hospitality to help create a unique healing environment, where families find hope and comfort.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Services are still provided, however, on a much smaller scale given the razing of all property, plant and equipment. Where we used to have the ability to serve up to 15 families at a time, we now have the ability to serve 5 families.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The Children's House at Johns Hopkins Hospital (TCHJHH) has been the cornerstone of Believe in Tomorrow's hospital housing program for over 30 years. It provides overnight accommodations to families of children receiving treatment at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, MD. The facility provides overnight stays to families from every state in the U.S. and from over 90 countries worldwide. TCHJHH works with Believe in Tomorrow National Children's Foundation, a pioneer of pediatric respite housing and a leader in pediatric hospital housing services. At the end of 2023, Believe in Tomorrow signed an agreement with Johns Hopkins University that allowed it to acquire the property of the current location and fund the construction of a new facility. While construction is pending, the hospital housing program continues to serve families. The organization partnered with the residence inn-Johns Hopkins campus to provide families a home away from home, and staff handle all scheduling and management of stays.

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.
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 $1.1M to $278k (−74%).
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: 2020 5% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 8 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $54k → $59k.
5 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.1M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Believe In Tomorrow National Children's Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money The Children's House at Johns Hopkins Hospital Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of The Children's House at Johns Hopkins Hospital 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.

The Children's House at Johns Hopkins Hospital Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 34% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% 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 The Children's House at Johns Hopkins Hospital Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 54% · 2019 44% · 2020 62% · 2021 64% · 2022 59% · 2023 61% — 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.
How long its funders stay
38% of The Children's House at Johns Hopkins Hospital Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $246k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
