What Fairbanks Youth Advocates does
Mission
Fairbanks Youth Advocates was founded in 2009 by community members with a collective desire to make a difference in the lives of at-risk youth, homeless youth and families in the interior. Our mission is to provide shelter, healing and supportive services to vulnerable youth in the interior. This is done by providing youth advocacy, parent coaching, prevention, outreach, and mediation for youth and families.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The door is a 24/7 emergency shelter for youth ages 6-18. The shelter provides a safe place to sleep, nutritious meals, supportive services, and youth/parent advocacy. Our goal is to address problems "upstream" before they become chronic. It is our hope to give every youth that comes through our doors a second chance at a better life. This year we provided shelter to over 150 youth, 2,857 meals, extended reach services to 120 youth, and 1,354 meals to families.

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 $2.5M to $2.2M (−13%).
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 37% · 2021 25% · 2022 41% · 2023 30% · 2024 34%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of FAIRBANKS YOUTH ADVOCATES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Leadership and staff
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 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $7k → $26k.
6 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 88% 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 FAIRBANKS YOUTH ADVOCATES’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.
How concentrated its funding is
FAIRBANKS YOUTH ADVOCATES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 78% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 FAIRBANKS YOUTH ADVOCATES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 70% · 2019 99% · 2020 97% · 2021 42% · 2022 84% · 2023 38% — 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
33% of FAIRBANKS YOUTH ADVOCATES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% 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
88% of FAIRBANKS YOUTH ADVOCATES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $63k that is directly attributable, 76% of it comes from Alaska funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $478k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2017–2024), and the filings of 13 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
