Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During 2025, the organization implemented a qualified residential treatment program (qrtp) under a contract with the mississippi department of child protection services. The qrtp expanded the organization's continuum of residential care by providing trauma-informed treatment, clinical assessments, individualized treatment planning, family engagement, and aftercare services for youth with complex behavioral and mental health needs.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $5.5M to $7.0M (+27%).
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: 2021 14% · 2022 23% · 2023 5% · 2024 6% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of METHODIST CHILDREN'S HOMES OF MISSISSIPPI INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $48k → $193k.
6 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

METHODIST CHILDREN'S HOMES OF MISSISSIPPI INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 75%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
34% 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 METHODIST CHILDREN'S HOMES OF MISSISSIPPI INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 80% · 2019 100% · 2020 78% · 2021 56% · 2022 79% · 2023 78% — 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
40% of METHODIST CHILDREN'S HOMES OF MISSISSIPPI INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
METHODIST CHILDREN'S HOMES OF MISSISSIPPI INC draws 86% of its grant income from funders outside Mississippi, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $209k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
