Program
The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem's vision is to provide a world-class Out of School Time Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle. As a private, non-profit organization (with a national affiliation) that is committed to providing Out of School Time youth programming for any child who wants to attend our programs, regardless of their family's ability to pay, we must rely on the community to fund our programs. Our revenue consists of state and local funds, philanthropic donations and Membership fees.Our curriculum is intentional and we consider our programs to be an extension of school day learning. Our youth start their time with Power Hour where staff and volunteers mobilize to help members with their homework, make sure that it is done correctly, and that it is in the school bag all ready for the next day at school. Beyond Power Hour, members may choose from a broad array of programming. Examples include Robotics, Dance, Creative Writing, Cooking Club,…

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.1M to $1.5M (+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: 2022 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
65% of BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF GREATER SALEM INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year

5 of 36 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1k from one payer (the payer's own filing calls it a related party, largest The Halperin Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF GREATER SALEM INC raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
