What Future Talent of Silicon Valley does
Mission
Mission Statement & Exempt Purpose: First Tee - Silicon Valley develops youth through golf. We enable kids and teens to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do. Our unique approach to youth development transforms lives and gives kids and teens a brighter future. We teach life skills and golf skills on-course, in- school, and after-school. Our programs are accessible to youth of different backgrounds and perspectives and affordable to families experiencing financial hardship.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs

Outreach: over 86% of participants came from diverse backgrounds (e.g. Latino), 49% were girls, and over 75% were on the free/reduced lunch program at their schools. All outreach programs are free to youth and their families. Classes: over 85% of participants came from diverse backgrounds, 39% were girls.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $467k to $811k (+74%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2020 1% · 2021 18% · 2022 8% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
58% 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 Future Talent of Silicon Valley.
