What Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program does
Mission
Building tomorrow's leaders through evidence-based development - where comprehensive support meets individual potential, creating pathways to success that work.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Dbg utilizes evidence-based youth development pathways that lead to proven success - one person, one family, one community at a time. Dbg developed an innovative model that yields measurable results through personalized, long-term support, while simultaneously removing obstacles to advancement. Our impact speaks through numbers that represent real lives changed: 100% high school graduation rate since inception, 98% program retention rate - nearly double the national average of 52%, students achieve nearly two years of reading growth in just one year, 98% of graduates pursue post-secondary education, over 1,500 students served and 350+ alumni to date, servicing 8-18 year olds who receive hyper-personalized support through multiple customized pathways, one-on-one tutoring, leadership training, daily meals, steam programs, individualized mentorship, door to door transportation, mental health support, extensive college and career readiness. We have formally measured program efficacy for over a decade and concentrate on domains that indicate lasting impact, specifically in social-emotional learning. Dbg students rank 25% higher in extra-academic factors compared to peers globally.

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 2017 to 2018, from $1.5M to $3.7M (+145%).
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.

61% 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.
