01What it does

What Louisville Youth Group Inc does

Mission

LYG empowers QTBIPoC/LGBTQIA+ youth to grow into healthy and resilient leaders through community connection, life skills education, and social advocacy.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Empowerment Camp: Every fall, LYG youth go on a weekend-long Empowerment Camp at YMCAs Camp Piomingo. This is an opportunity for youth to get outside of their comfort zones in a safe and affirming environment. Guided by staff and mentors, they participate in activities designed to build self-esteem, connect to a supportive community, and identify leadership skills. Group programs: LYG currently offers several regularly scheduled group meetings for LGBTQIA+ youth ages 5-20, including groups for youth ages 5-12, youth 13-17, adults 18-24 and groups specifically for gender diverse youth and youth of the global majority. Pride Prom: LYG actively participates in the many Pride opportunities in the Kentuckiana region. Pride month is an important way for LGBTQIA+ youth to connect with their roots and engage with the local community. Each spring, LYG hosts a Pride Prom as an alternative for youth who may not feel safe or welcome attending their school prom.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $50k → $156k.

6 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of LOUISVILLE YOUTH GROUP INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.

LOUISVILLE YOUTH GROUP INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

40% 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 LOUISVILLE YOUTH GROUP INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $218k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
