Mission
Collaborating with churches, schools, businesses, and agencies to provide programs and services that improve the lives of local children and teens through Biblical principles across public, private, and volunteer sectors.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Sycamore After School Enrichment (ASE) Program provided transportation, daily meals and classes, as well as community events for children, teens, and their families to support food security, workforce readiness, personal development, and academic skills in Jefferson, Harrison, Belmont, and Carroll Counties. Daily classes provided students with the following opportunities: Career awareness and job skills preparation (Computer Skills, Cosmetology, Woodworking, Community Service). Arts, crafts, and fruitful hobbies (Sewing/Knitting/Crochet class), Young Entrepreneurs Business and Financial Literacy. Positive Life skills and habits for physical, emotional, and financial health, improving emotional well-being and self-esteem. In addition to the classes described above, students had opportunities to meet with academic tutors to directly support their school performance and engagement.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2023 to 2024, from $267k to $406k (+52%).
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: 2020 13% · 2021 22% · 2022 20% · 2023 30% · 2024 61% · 2025 58%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of Ohio Valley Youth Network’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $18k → $120k.
6 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 Ohio Valley Youth Network’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 23 of 24 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
Ohio Valley Youth Network has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
33% 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 Ohio Valley Youth Network.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 68% · 2019 72% · 2020 42% · 2021 31% · 2022 52% · 2023 31% — diversifying over time.
“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
50% of Ohio Valley Youth Network's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% 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
Ohio Valley Youth Network draws 54% of its grant income from funders outside Ohio, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $118k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
