Programs
The CAN Help! Program increased the number of items distributed in 2024 versus 2023. Over 100,000 items, including perishable and nonperishable foods, candies, personal hygiene items, clothes, birthday and Christmas gifts, and more, were distributed to residents of three senior living facilities in Norfolk, Hampton, and Virginia Beach, one battered woman shelter, patrons of one community center in Newport News, VA. serving disadvantaged youth, senior citizens, single parents, and residents of seven Newport News, Virginia Beach, Keysville, VA, Tampa Bay, and Miami, FL nursing homes. This program also helped seniors reset and service their cell phones, budget their finances, apply for grants to offset medical expenses, apply for SSI disability, navigate the medical system, and gave grants for direct medical expense recovery, utility payments, and rent stipends to seniors.

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 2019 to 2020, from $16k to $36k (+118%).
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: 2019 0% · 2020 11% · 2021 10% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of THE COMPASSION ADVOCACY NETWORK INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
75% 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 COMPASSION ADVOCACY NETWORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 64% · 2021 66% · 2022 63% · 2023 55% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $27k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
