$47,058 spent$83,617 earned by the program14% of program spendingHeadwaters On Main is a new facility, previously known as the "Downtown Project" that opened in March 2023. It has filled a huge void in our community as it offers a cafe, conference room/event room, and outdoor recreation area for community members to gather. Since it's opening, Headwaters on Main has hosted many community activities including baby showers, class reunions, memorials, Veteran's meetings, Garden Club meetings, and other small gatherings. The cafe is open 6 days a week for coffee, breakfast, and lunch. It is located close enough to the local High School so students are able to walk off campus for lunch, free wifi, and a safe gathering space. This is also true for all members of the community. The goal of this project is to be used as our long term sustainability project that will allow us to be financially stable for many years to come.

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 2020 to 2021, from $666k to $576k (−13%).
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 74% · 2021 75% · 2022 68% · 2023 54% · 2024 43%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
58% of POTTER VALLEY YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $15k → $22k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 81% 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 POTTER VALLEY YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER’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
POTTER VALLEY YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% 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 POTTER VALLEY YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 77% — 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.
Where its funders are
81% of POTTER VALLEY YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER'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 $25k that is directly attributable, 80% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $105k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
Against its field
POTTER VALLEY YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 15,520 recreation & sports nonprofits its size.
