What Wheelchairs 4 Kids Inc does
Mission
Wheelchairs 4 Kids is dedicated to improving the lives of children with physical disabilities. We provide wheelchairs, home and vehicle modifications as well as other assistive or therapeutic equipment at no charge to the families.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2026 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Wheelchairs 4 Kids has added two new programs to further support children and their families. The first is the Scholarship Program, which provides $2,500 tuition assistance scholarships based on merit, with awards given twice a year. The second is the Compassion Program, which provides up to $1,000 toward funeral expenses when a child passes away.

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 2025 to 2026, from $2.1M to $2.9M (+37%).
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: 2020 0% · 2021 4% · 2022 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of Wheelchairs 4 Kids Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 13 funders to 50 funders, grant income rose $121k → $598k.
12 of 105 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 Wheelchairs 4 Kids Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 105 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
Wheelchairs 4 Kids Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 9% of grant income, and it takes 14 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 14 funders to its left
42% 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 Wheelchairs 4 Kids Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 21% · 2018 29% · 2019 10% · 2020 9% · 2021 14% · 2022 7% · 2023 18% — 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
54% of Wheelchairs 4 Kids Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
60% of Wheelchairs 4 Kids Inc's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $343k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
