What Attention Inc does
Mission
Tgthr is ending youth homelessness by providing critical services that build a supportive community around young people, amplifying their voices, and celebrating them as they grow.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Housing programs: tgthr's housing programs include two supportive housing complexes and a transitional living program, connecting young people aged 18-24 with safe and stable housing in the greater community. Once a young person is housed, our case managers provide support with a variety of things, including employment and education assistance, life skills development, food and utility assistance, and mental and physical wellness support. The goal is to move young people from unstable or unsafe living situations to safe housing and independence, and to prevent them from experiencing homelessness again. In fy25, 102 young adults aged 18-24 took part in tgthr's housing programs.
$1,785,034 spent$541,767 earned by the program48% of program spendingThe source overnight shelter & dropin resource center: the source is a federally recognized and state-licensed homeless youth shelter. The overnight shelter is available for up to 16 young people between the ages of 12-21. The drop-in resource center is available for up to 50 young people between the ages of 12-24. Program participants receive employment assistance, access to education programs, longterm housing navigation, support groups, family coaching services, lifeskills development, mental and physical wellness support, and an array of individual and group activities. The goal of this program is to reduce youth homelessness with a continuum of care that moves youth from the streets or in the shelter toward stable, longterm housing and/or family reunification. In fy25, 128 youth aged 12-21 stayed in tgthr's overnight shelter, and 170 young people engaged in services at the source's drop-in center. Due to funding loss, the source shelter closed in may 2025.

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 $2.8M to $3.4M (+22%).
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: 2018 16% · 2019 22% · 2020 28% · 2021 46% · 2022 47% · 2023 58% · 2024 51%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of ATTENTION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 24 funders to 30 funders, grant income rose $443k → $740k.
24 of 104 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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 ATTENTION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 104 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
ATTENTION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
73% 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 ATTENTION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 23% · 2018 18% · 2019 20% · 2020 24% · 2021 19% · 2022 17% · 2023 16% — 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
33% of ATTENTION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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 ATTENTION INC'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 $2.7M that is directly attributable, 55% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
