What Mvp Foundation does
Mission
The Mvp Foundation's mission is to instill a set of life and leadership skills, promote better health and decision making, in disadvantaged and at-risk 6th, 7th, and 8th grade boys who reside in maricopa county, az.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Mvp Foundation is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young men through leadership development. Arizona youth between the ages of 11 and 14 are provided with educational opportunities, interactive programs, mentorship, and resources that foster positive connections between youth, their families, and the greater community. The Mvp Foundation motivates maricopa county-based 6th, 7th, and 8th grade boys to develop personal life skills which lead to positive decision and productive behaviors as they continue to grow into young adults. Through an annual leadership academy, leadership skills and teamwork are taught through sports clinics, group activities, and counselor-led quality time teaching. Founded in 2011, mvp, has nurtured over 4,000 boys. Mvp life skills are taught at the leadership academy.

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 2019 to 2020, from $46k to $140k (+203%).
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.
100% of MVP FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $20k → $47k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $441k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Thunderbirds Charities). These are real filings, and they are not money MVP FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of MVP FOUNDATION’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
MVP FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 MVP FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 50% · 2020 67% · 2022 56% · 2023 53% — 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.
Where its funders are
97% of MVP FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Arizona funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $53k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
