What Ghetto Youths Foundation Inc does
Mission
Ghetto Youths Foundation is dedicated to creating social change and equity, with a focus on providing opportunity to young people, seniors, and families from compromised communities and challenging situations.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Ghetto Youths Foundation provides year-round, ongoing help and assistance to communities in need across the world. Our social impact programs are focused on four main areas of intervention Education, Health & Wellness, Elderly Support, and Community-Building.Currently, our outreach work in Jamaica is centered around two long-term projects: Cornerstone Learning Center and the Rita Marley Girls Center. Cornerstone Learning Center provides free after-school remedial intervention in reading and math for middle school-aged children from the Trench Town community. The Rita Marley Girls Center is envisioned to support teen mothers from Trench Town who may have dropped out of school, or those young women vulnerable to teen pregnancy and educational interruptions. In addition, the foundation provides ad hoc support for medical and funeral expenses as requested by under-resourced community members.

In the aftermath of the storm, we have delivered life-saving aid, performing essential roof repairs and contributing to long-term recovery efforts.

Nearly 60 years later, this historic institution has fallen into great disrepair, including a lack of bathrooms for the more than 300 students; a roof which is damaged 60% of the school; missing windows; desks and chairs that are broken and damaged; a lack of wifi, printers, and computers. Ghetto Youths Foundation has pledged support for the school, beginning with the renovation of the first set of bathrooms, completed this year.

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 2024 to 2025, from $51k to $107k (+111%).
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.
100% of Ghetto Youths Foundation Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2019 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $2k → $144.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Ghetto Youths Foundation Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 Ghetto Youths Foundation Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 53% · 2020 99% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
Where its funders are
95% of Ghetto Youths Foundation Inc'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 $2k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $34k 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. 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.
