Overview

Mission

Family support services

What it reported doing in 2025

Bennington Family Center provided licensed childcare services to approximately 20 families in the Bennington, Kansas area throughout 2025. The organization operated a childcare facility serving children from infancy through school age, with programming designed to support working families in a rural community with limited access to quality childcare. Services included full-day and part-time care, after school programming, and participation in the Kansas Child Care Subsidy (KSSRS) program to ensure access for income-qualified families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
