What The Granite State Children's Alliance does
Mission
The alliance, working closely with law enforcement officials and dcyf, facilitates a multidisciplinary approach to child abuse investigations. Additionally it provides statewide education, training and support for the 11 child advocacy centers of new hampshire.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Child advocacy centers (cacs) are designed to be a child/family friendly, victim centered, neutral setting for joint investigations and forensic interviews of child victims of crime involving sexual abuse, felony level physical abuse, and child witnesses to violence such as a homicide or a serious domestic assault. Cacs also provide child/family support services to ensure children receive appropriate mental health assessments, treatment and specialized medical evaluations. Last year over 2,000 children were referred for services to cacs across new hampshire.
$2,434,839 spentof which $381,494 as grants87% of program spendingThe organization provides cac membership services, training, professional development, technical assistance and statewide representation to the network of eleven nationally accredited child advocacy centers (cacs) in new hampshire and their multi-disciplinary teams. Know & tell is a professional development program of The Granite State Children's Alliance. It is all our responsibility to protect children from abuse. Know & tell educates all adults to know the signs of abuse and tell responsible authorities when they recognize a child needs help. It is based on three elements: educate - learn the signs of neglect, physical, and sexual abuse to identify a child victim and understand your responsibility as a mandated reporter; inform - know how and when to report suspected abuse (see schedule o) when a child needs your help; protect - recognize your role in the child protection system. The know & tell training is conducted in-person or online.

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 $4.7M to $6.8M (+45%).
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: 2017 6% · 2018 5% · 2019 65% · 2020 70% · 2021 83% · 2022 76% · 2023 64% · 2024 82% · 2025 79%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of THE GRANITE STATE CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (93% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $318k → $838k.
4 of 38 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% 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: $160k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Elliot Hospital of the City of Manchester). These are real filings, and they are not money THE GRANITE STATE CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE raised.
From the IRS filings of THE GRANITE STATE CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 funders by total. 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 GRANITE STATE CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% 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
93% 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 GRANITE STATE CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 45% · 2019 43% · 2020 42% · 2021 56% · 2022 44% · 2023 60% — 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
35% of THE GRANITE STATE CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
THE GRANITE STATE CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE draws 73% of its grant income from funders outside New Hampshire, across 10 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M 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. 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.
