Mission

Whole Child International promotes positive developmental outcomes for children through child protection systems strengthening and improving the quality of care for children in low- and middle-income countries.

Program

  1. Whole Child International believes that a nurturing, consistent relationship between children and caregivers is essential to the development of the cognitive, emotional, social, and motor skills of the child. Improving the quality of care through a cost-effective, context-appropriate approach promotes positive interactions among children and strengthens the bonds between children, parents, and other caregivers as they learn to collaborate, share, and trust one another. By providing safe, supportive care for children from low-income families, we're helping parents stay in the workforce without worrying about childcare. The income from expanded employment, coupled with targeted social services, offers families a better future right at home by reducing household vulnerability to extreme stressors such as increased poverty, interpersonal violence, criminal or extremist involvement, and feeling pressured to migrate or re-migrate.In order to achieve our goals we co-create and work with country governments, policy makers, educators, protection and ECCD supervisors, and caregivers to effectively plan and implement child protection and early childhood development programs. We have…

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 8 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $152k → $113k.

2 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% 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 Whole Child International’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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

Whole Child International leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.

“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

13% of Whole Child International's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $320k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
