01What it does

What Family of Friends Mentoring does

Mission

Family of friends provides mentor-based services in east multnomah county that supports positive self-identity and cultivates youth leadership, so young people can build vibrant futures for themselves and their communities.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Family of Friends Mentoring began fiscal year 2024 by expanding our service footprint across east multnomah county, increasing volunteer opportunities, launching more in-person social gatherings and educational opportunities, deepening trauma-informed training and focusing on mental wellness to round out our youth mentoring program. However, after losing several large grants, we faced significant financial challenges, leading to the decision to close our mentoring program effective january 31, 2024. Despite efforts to recover from funding losses, the competitive environment made it untenable to continue serving our community. We continued to prioritize the wellbeing of our mentors, mentees, families, vendors, strategic partners, and staff while gracefully sunsetting the program, with most mentor/mentee matches choosing to remain intact, even without program affiliation.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $20k → $42k.

3 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 FAMILY OF FRIENDS MENTORING’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.

FAMILY OF FRIENDS MENTORING has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

33% 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 FAMILY OF FRIENDS MENTORING.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $115k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
