We identify, develop, fund and scale evidence-based programs that increase resilience in young people. These programs all advance our mission pillars: connectivity, engagement, empowerment, emotional regulation and sustainability.over the last five years, we have partnered with over 85 colleges, universities and community organizations to deliver our signature initiative, radical health. The program teaches timeless and essential life skills around communication, decision making, stress management, priority setting and emotional intelligence.through corporate, individual and foundation grants, we are able to fully fund delivery of our program for every partner.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Radical health: the signature skill-based wellness program continued to experience explosive growth in 2025, with growing demand for evidence-based, proven programs that improve the mental, physical and emotional health of young adults. Radical health was implemented at over 40 colleges, universities, community organizations and for professional athletes at the national football league. Radical hope fully funds all costs associated with running the program, including original content development, program training, technology platform, guide stipends, program customization, marketing materials and rigorous efficacy assessment. Since its launch in 2020, we have implemented radical health at over 85 colleges, universities, community organizations and professional sports teams.

  3. In 2024, we formed a new partnership with major league baseball to reach young adults in the minor league markets. Through activation events at local minor league ballparks we ran radical health workshops and introduced tools and resources to the community. This partnership deepened in 2025 as more teams brought mental health resources to their organizations and local communities. In addition to this partnership, radical hope enhanced its communications operations, scaling mindflex with aaron taylor, a podcast that delivers tools and techniques to help young adults build resilience.our program team developed a "workshop model" to deliver our radical health content in 1 or 2 sessions (versus the traditional 4) for new and existing partners. With time and administrative constraints, many organizations have requested this option to ensure their students/members still have access to the skills, tools and resources offered through the program.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $10k → $328k.

6 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 RADICAL HOPE INC’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

RADICAL HOPE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

35% 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 RADICAL HOPE INC.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

80% of RADICAL HOPE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
