$7,724 spent6% of program spendingReach out and read ror: this program involves training local doctors and staff in ten pediatric sites where new, diverse, age, and language appropriate books are provided for each child, birth to 5 years during their well-child visit. Doctors give anticpatory guidance to the parent. Doctors use this opportunity to educate parents about the importance of reading, talking and bonding to their child to support early brain development. Ror is provided to all children, but the pediatric practice must serve a large percentage of medicaid patients who are low to moderate income. 58% of all clients are medicaid recipients in this program. Two sites are federally qualified health centers, one site is a federally recognized tribe known as the catawba indian nation through indian health services, and numerous children are represented in low income census tracts such as 604.01, 616.02, and 612.02 across york county.

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 $144k to $245k (+71%).
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: 2021 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of THE EARLY LEARNING PARTNERSHIP OF YORK COUNTY INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $103k 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.
