What Tuesday's Children does
Mission
Tuesday's Children provides healing and resilience for military families of the fallen and families affected by 9/11, turning pain into purpose while honoring their legacies. We exist to help families of the fallen and the 9/11 community build connections and foster post-traumatic growth through holistic programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Resiliency-building programs - equips surviving military and 9/11 families with tools and resources to promote long-term resilience and stability. Services include trade school scholarships that support workforce development and financial self-sufficiency, virtual educational and support programming, and individualized resource navigation to connect participants with available benefits and community services. These programs help families strengthen resilience, increase economic opportunity, and access critical support systems.

Through activities ranging from sporting events to multi-day retreats, participants engage in shared experiences that promote healing, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. Programming includes dedicated activities for children and separate sessions for adult survivors, creating developmentally appropriate opportunities for healing while strengthening long-term support systems.
$320,149 spent30% of program spendingGold star youth mentoring - matches bereaved youth ages 6-18 with carefully vetted and trained adult mentors who provide consistent, supportive relationships. Eligible youth have experienced the death of a parent, guardian, or sibling due to military service or the suicide of a service member or veteran. The program addresses the long-term effects of childhood bereavement, a significant adverse childhood experience (ace), by fostering resilience and reducing the risk of adverse mental, physical, and social outcomes through the presence of a trusted adult mentor.

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 2020 to 2021, from $992k to $2.1M (+114%).
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 1% · 2018 8% · 2019 8% · 2020 10% · 2021 8% · 2022 8% · 2023 13% · 2024 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of TUESDAY'S CHILDREN’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (69% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 11 funders to 43 funders, grant income rose $59k → $901k.
18 of 104 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 TUESDAY'S CHILDREN’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 104 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
TUESDAY'S CHILDREN has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
49% 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 TUESDAY'S CHILDREN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 35% · 2019 32% · 2020 36% · 2021 32% · 2022 31% · 2023 44% — 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
41% of TUESDAY'S CHILDREN's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% 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
76% of TUESDAY'S CHILDREN's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
