What Partnership for Children & Youth does
Mission
By strategically linking people, practice and policy, we make sure that children and youth in the most under-resourced communities receive quality expanded learning opportunities and that all their learning environments school, afterschool and summer support their academic, social, emotional and physical well-being.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Expanded Learning:Our expanded learning work was focused on making sure that school districts and community-based organizations have the skills and knowledge to implement high-quality programming, through building capacity in the field, documenting best practices for implementation, and piloting new ways to address a key challenge: staffing. We presented to over 900 people across the state and nation, bringing research, resources, and new ideas to education leaders, policymakers, expanded learning staff, school district administrators, and more.See Schedule O for more details.

We conducted surveys and interviews with local educational agencies and community-based providers to learn about how they are using ELO-P. Our report provides a snapshot of the trends and opportunities for practitioners, policymakers, and advocates. This policy research provided support to legislation (AB 1113) that was successfully signed into law which requires that school districts report on the number of kids that participate in programs and embed this data into the state's longitudinal data system. PCY coordinates the advocacy coalition, the California Afterschool Advocacy Alliance, that was the lead expert and spokesperson for this bill.

We have held monthly in-person full day staff sessions and a multi-day retreat to deepen organizational culture and relationships, focus on how equity is approached and embodied within the organization, and develop and manage annual goals and budget. We've strengthened our staff management processes to inform strategic decisions on capacity, hiring, professional development, and well-being which are reflected in our organizational effectiveness and culture guide.

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 2021 to 2022, from $796k to $1.6M (+100%).
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.
76% of Partnership for Children & Youth’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $1.3M → $1.6M.
7 of 35 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 Partnership for Children & Youth’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 35 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
Partnership for Children & Youth has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
28% 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 Partnership for Children & Youth.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 41% · 2019 30% · 2020 19% · 2021 26% · 2022 25% · 2023 42% — 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
26% of Partnership for Children & Youth's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% 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
90% of Partnership for Children & Youth's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
