Programs
Social enterprise: idaho youth ranch (iyr) owns and operates 24 thrift stores, online book and collectible divisions, and a vehicle sales lot. These locations sell and/or recycle clothing, vehicles and other non-cash goods donated by the public to fund therapeutic programs for vulnerable idaho youth and their families. Iyr social enterprise locations provide jobs, benefits and career paths for over 400 employees. Stores serve as job training sites for iyr's youthworks! Program. Stores include a ranch readers program, which has given over 600,000 free books and incentives for reading them to idaho children. Iyr social enterprise recycles donated goods that cannot be sold, helping reduce the volume of waste entering public landfills in idaho's communities.

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 $44M to $71M (+60%).
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: 2017 2% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 12% · 2021 2% · 2022 2% · 2023 22% · 2024 2% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of IDAHO YOUTH RANCH INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 19 funders to 55 funders, grant income rose $269k → $3.7M.

From the IRS filings of IDAHO YOUTH RANCH INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 119 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
IDAHO YOUTH RANCH INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 12% of grant income, and it takes 8 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 8 funders to its left
30% 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 IDAHO YOUTH RANCH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 22% · 2018 24% · 2019 16% · 2020 30% · 2021 13% · 2022 24% · 2023 27% — 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.
How long its funders stay
53% of IDAHO YOUTH RANCH INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
51% of IDAHO YOUTH RANCH INC's grant income comes from Idaho funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 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.
