What Wonderland Child & Family Services does
Mission
Wonderland provides a strong and equitable foundation for children and their families with diverse needs and abilities to flourish through therapy, education, advocacy, and resources. We strive to serve more kids every day and serve them better than ever before.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Wonderland started a new program, the hope rising clinic, to provide services for children impacted by prenatal substance exposure (pse) and related neurodevelopmental conditions, along with education and support for their caregivers. See the full description on page 2, part iii, line 4b.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Early support for infants and toddlers (esit):Wonderland Child & Family Services provides early support for infants and toddlers (esit), a federal and state-funded early-intervention program serving children from birth to age three with developmental delays and disabilities. Services include therapy, family resource coordination, and caregiver support delivered in home and community-based settings. Esit is primarily funded through medicaid and state/federal contracts, which are restricted to eligible services and reimbursement structures that define both scope and allowable costs. While this funding supports core early-intervention services, it is limited in flexibility and does not cover the full cost of care or expanded program innovation, requiring supplemental philanthropic support to ensure consistent access and quality.
$6,683,843 spent$923,748 earned by the program78% of program spendingHope rising clinic (hrc):hope rising clinic provides specialized, multidisciplinary care for children ages 3-13 impacted by prenatal substance exposure (pse) and related neurodevelopmental conditions, along with education and support for their caregivers. Unlike esit, hrc receives limited state funding to cover a small portion of services. The clinic relies on modest insurance reimbursement and philanthropic investment to cover the remaining cost of care. Because insurance typically covers only a fraction of the total cost, a significant gap remains, bridged through grants and the family care fund to ensure families can access services regardless of financial barriers. Continued philanthropic support is essential to sustain clinical services, expand caregiver and professional education programs, and increase access for families who would otherwise be unable to receive care.

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 2023 to 2024, from $6.2M to $8.6M (+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: 2019 13% · 2020 12% · 2021 11% · 2022 0% · 2023 75% · 2024 73% · 2025 75%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of WONDERLAND CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $87k → $231k.
10 of 36 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% 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 WONDERLAND CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 36 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
WONDERLAND CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 38% 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
82% 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 WONDERLAND CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 41% · 2019 42% · 2020 37% · 2021 21% · 2022 29% · 2023 43% — 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 WONDERLAND CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES'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.
Where its funders are
62% of WONDERLAND CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1.0M that is directly attributable, 88% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
