What Community Youth & Women's Alliance does
Mission
Purpose: the cywa draws into membership, men, women and children of diverse background and faiths, that together they may gain personal responsibility, dignity and self-esteem to help eliminate poverty and improve the quality of life in our community. Imperatives: the elimination of racism; directly address the elimination of poverty through the implementation of supportive and independent housing iniatives and programs in education, counseling and community outreach; maintain a program for providing decent housing that is affordable to low - and moderate-income persons; to promte positive child development education; to encourage and support parents in their role as advocates and primary teachers of their children; to provide for the elimination of barriers to healthy family life through education, counseling and community outreach; to promote positive, life-long recovery from the family illness of addictions.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Inpatient program: the drug and alcohol program assists alcohol and/or drug addicted women in recovery to maintain continuous sobriety and solidify personal recovery, assists recovering women with children in the development of independent life styles as mothers and head of households, assists in breaking the cycle of intergenerational addiction through direct assistance to the children of addicted women, and provides positive role models. Food distribution program: the cywa currently distributes food two days a week plus one additional "bonus food" day each month serving an average of almost 500 households per month. We work closely with the chester county food bank, philabundance, local grocery stores, organizations and individual markets to provide the most nutritious food options for our community residents. In addition, we provide recipes in english and spanish to allow families the option of preparing fresh produce that are a key part of their health and well-being. The cywa's food distribution program has expanded greatly with the recruitment of enthusiastic volunteers and new food donation resources.
Family center program: the family center program provides opportunities for participants to engage in creative, unique and self-designed individual family and community problem solving, including positive parenting. The family center program assists families who are living at poverty levels, to maintain housing, retain independence through providing support services in the areas of life skills, job skills, training, employment and self-esteem, and by providing assistance as needed. In addition, the program serves as a link between homeless women that are ready to leave the shelter program and landlords and other service groups in the community.
Housing and supportive housing: the cywa properties program provides low cost housing for low and moderate income families and individuals.
Other program services: performing arts, roymar hall, rapid rehousing, and all other programs-various programs supporting the local community.

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 2019 to 2020, from $2.5M 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: 2017 72% · 2018 73% · 2019 57% · 2020 54% · 2021 48% · 2022 58% · 2023 52% · 2024 78% · 2025 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of COMMUNITY YOUTH & WOMEN'S ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $0 → $15k.
4 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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 COMMUNITY YOUTH & WOMEN'S ALLIANCE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 16 of 18 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
COMMUNITY YOUTH & WOMEN'S ALLIANCE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 31% 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
76% 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 COMMUNITY YOUTH & WOMEN'S ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 42% · 2021 50% · 2022 46% · 2023 67% — 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
20% of COMMUNITY YOUTH & WOMEN'S ALLIANCE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
78% of COMMUNITY YOUTH & WOMEN'S ALLIANCE's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $123k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
