Mission
Our mission is to encourage a diverse population of high-need young people to explore their full potential through academic, career, family, and community life. Every year, CYC impacts over 8,000 San Francisco youth and their families, 2,000 of which are on a weekly basis during academic year, through programs on 3 core areas: health and wellness (behavioral health & physical fitness), enrichment and advancement (education & workforce development), and community engagement (community/school-based education & leadership development).
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Our outreach also includes skill-building opportunities and support groups, along with sports and enrichment activities in partnership with local schools.

We also support newcomer youth as they build academic skills, strengthen social and emotional learning, and stay on track to complete high school requirements in preparation for college or post-secondary pathways.

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.
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 $22M to $28M (+25%).
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 86% · 2023 88% · 2024 83% · 2025 90%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
70% 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 CENTER OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 25% · 2019 22% · 2020 51% · 2021 41% · 2022 33% · 2023 27% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
