What The Family Summit Foundation does
Mission
A center for grieving children is a support center for children, teens and their families that are grieving the loss of someone they love because of death, divorce or separation.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The Family Summit Foundation-a center for grieving children held 50 separate support groups. In all, we directly impacted the lives of nearly 800 children and teens throughout the year.

All new volunteers are trained on child, teen and adult grief issues. With the number of families that are using our services it has become imperative that we continually recruit and train new volunteers. Twice during the year, we had a candle lighting ceremony. We held one for memorial day and another at christmas time. Our families that have had a loss from death came together and one by-one lit a candle in memory of their loved ones, while saying who they were and something special about them. Our camp comfort was held in july. We had 53 children and teens participate in 2024. We had separate camp days according to age and type of loss. Our youth and teen day camps were held at the ogden nature center. We had a barbecue along with many fun activities for the kids, which made it a very memorable day. During the christmas holiday the…

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 2017 to 2018, from $114k to $33k (−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: 2020 37% · 2021 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of THE FAMILY SUMMIT FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $34k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 THE FAMILY SUMMIT FOUNDATION’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
THE FAMILY SUMMIT FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
34% 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 FAMILY SUMMIT FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2023 82% — 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.
Where its funders are
84% of THE FAMILY SUMMIT FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Utah funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
Against its field
THE FAMILY SUMMIT FOUNDATION's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
