What The Pass Along Project does
Mission
To provide essential items such as clothing in support of children individuals and families affected by foster care or other resource instability.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The Pass Along Project is a new hampshire based organization helping foster children with their transition to the foster care system system through the provision of needed clothing and similar items. Children in foster care often arrive suddenly with only the clothes on their back. The Pass Along Project collects and redistributes new and gently used clothing as age and gender specific "bundles" to foster children in need. Each bundle consists of enough clothing for a full week as a basic startup similar to what most families purchase at the beginning of a school year. While the majority of the bundle is built with excellent quality pre-worn clothing, the organization adds new underwear, socks, pajamas, and at least two new outfits to every kit. Kits also contain sneakers, and seasonal items such as boots, jackets, snowpants, and more. All clothing kits are provided to the child free of charge. During 2024, 582 kits were delivered to children entering into foster care.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2023 to 2024, from $66k to $47k (−29%).
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.
92% of THE PASS ALONG PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
