Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Research and development: students who used the well-being index, designed and developed by turnaround, reported they enjoyed reflecting on their feeling and functioning through the self-assessment and felt more self-aware and safer in schools as a result. Educators reported that they appreciated the tool as a conversation starter between teachers and students, where students could share freely without judgment. Building educator capacity: educators reported that their experiences in turnaround's professional learning offerings would improve their practices, that they would recommend turnaround's services to their colleagues, and that they would be interested in deepening or continuing their learning by exploring more tools and resources intended to enhance their knowledge in the science of learning and development and whole-child design.mobilizing the educational ecosystem: turnaround worked to create the conditions for whole-child education to take root nationwide, reaching audiences across the nation with tools and resources to support adoption and implementation of whole-child design by way of webinars, blogs, academic publications and reports, magazine articles, conference…

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990. Program spending in total: $953,750.
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.
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 $15M to $9.2M (−39%).
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: 2023 50%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 12 funders to 10 funders, grant income fell $10M → $908k.
13 of 43 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 TURNAROUND FOR CHILDREN INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 43 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
TURNAROUND FOR CHILDREN INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
40% 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 TURNAROUND FOR CHILDREN INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 68% · 2018 45% · 2019 34% · 2020 32% · 2021 28% · 2022 43% · 2023 40% — 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.
How long its funders stay
47% of TURNAROUND FOR CHILDREN INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
56% of TURNAROUND FOR CHILDREN INC'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. $10M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
