As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
For the year ended August 31, 2025, 95 AmeriCorps Promise Fellows devoted a term of service responding to the chronic attendance crisis in Minnesota by providing evidence-based support to young people across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Promise Fellows increases the capacity of schools and community organizations by using an array of research-based strategies; tracking attendance and work completion, monitoring student engagement, and supporting academic growth through caring adult interventions, service and service-learning opportunities, and out-of-school- time supports. During the program year, 2064 students were served by Promise Fellows, with 60% of the students achieving increased school attendance. 23 organizations received capacity building services from our Groundwork Fellow program, an AmeriCorps program providing indirect service and support to youth development nonprofits and local government units. A total of 20 Groundwork Fellows served 1598 students through their service. 51 AmeriCorps members served students during the summer through Breakthrough Twin Cities, supporting students at 3 sites throughout the metro area.

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 $1.3M to $2.1M (+69%).
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 61% · 2018 53% · 2019 52% · 2020 4% · 2021 8% · 2022 8% · 2023 11% · 2024 78% · 2025 84%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of Minnesota Alliance With Youth’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $114k → $1.6M.
2 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 Minnesota Alliance With Youth’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.
How concentrated its funding is
Minnesota Alliance With Youth leans on a few funders — its largest provides 90% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 Minnesota Alliance With Youth.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 95% · 2019 91% · 2020 81% · 2021 90% · 2022 92% · 2023 91% — 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
58% of Minnesota Alliance With Youth's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 76% 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
99% of Minnesota Alliance With Youth's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $161k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
