01What it does

What Peer Health Exchange Inc does

Mission

Peer health exchange's mission is to empower young people with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make healthy decisions. We do this by training college students to teach a skills-based health curriculum in under-resourced high schools across the country.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. Peer Health Exchange Inc.'s mission is to build healthier communities with young people. Together, we create education opportunities for peers to share the tools and resources young people need to make healthy decisions. The organization's vision is to, with its partners, advance health equity and improve outcomes for all young people. With our school-based work, college-aged young people are trained to teach a comprehensive health curriculum in public high schools that lack health education. Since 2004, the organization has worked with more than 230,000 young people, across the country, to build healthier communities. (see schedule o.)in addition, the organization has developed a comprehensive set of digital tools, including a web application and presence on various social media platforms, to meet young people where they are and provide access to the resources and communities, they need outside the school setting. Since 2021, the organization has reached over 500,000 young people digitally via their mobile and web app known as "selfsea".

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 49 funders to 61 funders, grant income rose $3.0M → $5.4M.

33 of 188 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 PEER HEALTH EXCHANGE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 188 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

PEER HEALTH EXCHANGE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 10% of grant income, and it takes 12 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 12 funders to its left

44% 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 PEER HEALTH EXCHANGE INC.

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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.
