Programs
The washington park community center, a multipurpose human service agency, offers a variety of programs and social services to the local community. Our licensed childcare programs include infant/toddler daycare, pre-school, and before & after school programs. These are year round programs, providing a nurturing and educational environment for children who need care while their parents are at work. Our before & after school program serves children 5 to 12 after school each day, as well as programs and summer camps to cover the gaps when school is out, so children are safe and monitored always. We provide assistance with homework, as well as reading and math tutorials. Youth are expected to excel at school. Though emphasis is on academics, a variety of group and individual activities are offered.
$192,884 spentof which $31,333 as grants34% of program spendingThe daycare program was opened in 1981 as the first licensed infant and toddler child care center in rhode island. The program is open full time, monday - friday. Children are cared for in groupings according to age: infants under 18 months, toddlers 18 months to 3 years, and preschoolers 3 to 5 years. Our curriculum is based on the eight domains of the rhode island early learning standards and designed to ensure each child (age appropriate) that leaves us is kindergarten ready. Each child is assessed during the year in the areas of social, emotional, cognitive, and fine and gross motor skills. A log is kept on each infant to keep parents abreast of their day and as a communication aid. Our child care program meets all state regulations.

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 $4.3M to $5.3M (+22%).
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.

1 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
WASHINGTON PARK CITIZENS ASSOCIATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
39% 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 WASHINGTON PARK CITIZENS ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 94% · 2019 67% · 2020 39% · 2021 60% · 2022 43% · 2023 63% — 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
57% of WASHINGTON PARK CITIZENS ASSOCIATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
WASHINGTON PARK CITIZENS ASSOCIATION INC draws 79% of its grant income from funders outside Rhode Island, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $137k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
