What Firm Foundations Youth & Family Outreach Incorporated does
Mission
To educate expose and empower youth and families to live productive lives. The most significant activities include out-of-school time programs mentoring through youth development programming.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Our organization took on a new out-of-school time site which increased our revenue and expenses. This increase in revenue allowed us to increase our outreach mentoring youth development workshops and family empowerment services.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Out of school time programs: Firm Foundations partnered with local schools to provide programming before school afterschool and during the summer. The program supported students k-8. The program also provided family engagement and educational programs. By providing homework assistance and high-quality and innovative enrichment activities in science technology engineering math literacy and art we help bridge the gap between school learning and out of school learning. In addition to this positive mentorship and social emotional learning takes place through curriculum based activities provided by staff. Students were provided a free nutritious supper while in our care. Using grant funds and sponsorships families were served through a sliding scale. The program employed teachers and mentors to support the students academic needs and their social and emotional needs.

100% 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 FIRM FOUNDATIONS YOUTH & FAMILY OUTREACH INCORPORATED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 84% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
