Program
Hope for tomorrow, inc. Is dedicated to preparing children in the west end of pittsburgh for the pittsburgh promise (paid education beyond high school). Hope for tomorrow is designed to provide such children with the skills and abilities they will need for post high school education. The organization provides tutors to work with students in areas in which they need help, provides classes in various skills they will need for post high school education, and instructs students in health and fitness. The instructions are provided by volunteers and the classes are held in schools which donate the use of their facilities outside of the school year. Classes are open to children beginning in the 5th grade through the sophomore year of post-secondary education.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.
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: 2025 68%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of HOPE FOR TOMORROW INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

59% 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 HOPE FOR TOMORROW INC.
