As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Pensacola's promise operates a program called chain reaction(cr). Chain reaction has gained reputation as the premier teen leadership and experiential education organization for teens.

Cr is teen- driven and teen-organized, offering a safe, fun, and inclusive environment to empower teens to identify their passions, discover purpose, and propel personal growth and leadership skills.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2020 to 2021, from $34k to $52k (+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: 2024 79% · 2025 72%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
102% of PENSACOLA'S PROMISE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.
