Programs
| explanation:| the child and family therapy program was active through september 2024. The program was developed to reduce traumatic stress symptoms in dc area children exposed to traumatic events by providing evidence-based trauma-informed mental health services. Within the framework of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy tf-cbt mental health clinicians helped children and families develop positive coping skills process past traumatic experiences and build healthy relationships. Under the supervision of a part-time mental health director 2 volunteer clinicians provided pro bono virtual therapy services to 3 children for a total of 5 therapy sessions. These 3 children had started services last year and finished services this year. Of these 3 1 graduated from treatment in september and 2 were lost to follow-up in july. 1 child was referred to another provider based on their individual needs. Despite significant attempts to recruit additional clinicians in response to natural turnover our volunteer clinician model could not provide the availability and capacity needed to sustain the program and was thus paused.

From the IRS filings of Trauma Resilience Understanding & Education True Center Inc’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 Trauma Resilience Understanding & Education True Center Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 98% · 2023 98% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
97% of Trauma Resilience Understanding & Education True Center Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $100k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
