What Pathway to Fitness does
Mission
The Overcome Project is dedicated to empowering opportunity youth through the development of free state of the art youth facilities with a focus on health and fitness. Our mission at The Overcome Project is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for individuals in communities facing socio-economic challenges. We are commitment to addressing health disparities and inequities to ensure the thriving of our kids. Building relationships in sport and play gives us the opportunity to build bridges in our communities. Our approach also involves enhancing job prospects and skills for young adults thereby reducing drug sales and restricting access to harmful substances. We aim to shift cultural norms and perspectives to equip youth for inevitable pressures and empower them to make informed choices regarding substance use. The Overcome Project heart is to build men and women of good character by showing unconditional love and support through creating a strong foundation across our locations
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We have also been allowed to take our program into group homes for kids that are at a high risk for self harm or are being currently monitored for this.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $77k to $34k (−55%).
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 Pathway to Fitness’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $750 → $5k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% 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 Pathway to Fitness’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
Pathway to Fitness leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 Pathway to Fitness.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
87% of Pathway to Fitness's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $6k that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from funders outside California, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k 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.
