Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TLC Child & Family Services is a non-profit organization that annually serves over 600 children, young adults and families in Northern California. TLC provides comprehensive quality foster care and adoption services, residentially-based services, special education services, transition age youth housing and counseling.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TLC Child & Family Services (TLC) is a private, non-profit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing permanence, shelter, education, guidance, emotional healing and support to children, families and young adults. A variety of expertly structured environments are provided so children can realize a richer life experience and discover hidden potential, developing character and self-identity that is positive and productive in the community.

  • Foster Family/Adoption Agency:Foster Family Agency: The Foster Family Agency (FFA) provides treatment foster care and foster/adopt services for children between the ages of birth to eighteen. The foster children, including sibling groups, may exhibit a moderate degree of emotional and/or behavioral disturbances. The FFA's social workers in this program provide support, consultation, and adoption services to foster parents. The social worker team approach affords a wide measure of flexibility in meeting the needs of children in unique situations. Homes are located in both city and rural settings in Sonoma, Marin, Lake, Napa and Mendocino Counties. Referrals are from all regions of California.THP Program: TLC works to ensure that all foster youth and former foster youth (ages 16 - 25) have the opportunity to experience a safe, supported transition from foster care. Through the housing program, along with an academic enrichment program, counseling and community education, youth are helped to gain the skills to live independently and succeed on their own. Transitional housing programs give young adults the opportunity to learn critical life skills from trained professional staff.Adoption Services: TLC offers adoption services for children in the foster care system and from birth parents. Home studies, adoption planning, parent training seminars and support groups, and post adoption services are provided.

    Expenses $2,395,632 · Grants $571,166

  • Journey Academy:Residential Treatment Program is an intensive co-educational treatment program for adolescents. Opening in 1975, TLC's residential program continues to provide safety, shelter, and support to adolescents. TLC promotes family involvement by including parents and siblings, relatives or significant other persons in the therapeutic process and every effort is made to achieve family reconciliation and reunification. Located in rural Sonoma County, two high level group homes serve 16 youth with a wide range of psychological and emotional needs. The homes maintain superior standards and are accredited nationally by the Joint Commission.Journey High School. This California Certified Nonpublic School is appropriate for any 9th - 12th grade student who needs special educational services. A comprehensive curriculum is tailored to eachstudent instructional need. The curriculum meets state and local graduation requirements. It is common to find that children entering TLC's programs will have experienced failure and frustration in school. The issues of learning disabilities and remedial needs are not overlooked and each student receives thorough academic tutorial assistance whenever necessary. Designated Instructional Services (DIS) are provided according to the needs of the student and agreed upon in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
