  2. Youth development: nurturing the potential of children and teens. Children from low-income families often start school unprepared. Despite progressing at the same rates as their peers during the school years, gaps widen each summer and these children fall further behind. This is known as the "achievement gap." the y's achievement gap programs are designed to support the cognitive physical and social-emotional development of youth while improving their academic outcomes via summer learning, and afterschool learning. All this while building self-confidence, self-esteem, good sportsmanship, teamwork, and fair play. Through fundraising and dedicated staff support, we awarded $141,432 in financial assistance for out-of-school programs and summer day camp. Our afterschool program had 1,481 participants for the year, while our summer day camps had 829 participants.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $88k → $456k.

4 of 16 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.

From the IRS filings of EASTERN CAROLINA YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $237k 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.
