What Girls on the Run of the Bay Area Inc does
Mission
Girls on the Run of the Bay Area inspires youth to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, hands-on curriculum which creatively integrates outdoor exercises and running. We aim to ensure that every participant, no matter their activity level, ethnicity, race or economic status, benefits from our program.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Girls served: Girls on the Run of the Bay Area served 1,752 youth, 126 teams in five Bay Area counties Programs: In FY24 the organization offered the program in 126 sites; 52% in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, 14% in Marin, 20% in SF County and 14% in San Mateo County. Over $400,000 of scholarship assistance was granted. Community Support: We were fortunate to be able to recruit 473 coaches for the two seasons, along with dozens of site liaisons. We also enjoyed over 1,500 volunteers helping predominantly at the 5K, either as running buddies or helping with the event logistics. Our Executive Board and Associate Board are highly engaged and assist the team with fundraising, events and strategic guidance. Completion of the Program: With small team sizes (a ratio of 3 adult coaches to 15 girls on the team), the GOTRBA program has a high completion rate. 98% of girls completed the season and 95% of girls attended the Girls on the Run 5K?s in Marina Park, San Leandro. The organization made a strategic decision to use unrestricted net assets to cover the college coach recruitment initiative. This initiative is the sole reason expenses were more than revenues in this fiscal 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 2020 to 2021, from $386k to $522k (+35%).
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: 2021 1% · 2022 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
58% of Girls on the Run of the Bay Area Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
