What Raisinghope Inc does
Mission
Raisinghope empowers youth experiencing foster care to independence through resources and relationships.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Housing navigation - we work with youth that are aging out of the foster system to make sure they are prepared to find and secure their own living situation. Ahead of their move, we discuss budgeting, credit, employment, how to interact with a landlord, and roommate skills. We will also help to locate possible residences. Raisinghope assists with their first month's rent and security deposit. We served 126 youth and 28 minor children.
$152,095 spentof which $123,178 as grants27% of program spendingTransportation - we take requests for car purchases, repairs, assistance with accidents or emergencies, and insurance. In preparation for a purchase, we determine how much money the youth has saved and if they have the income to support gas, insurance and minor repairs for the car purchased. We assist them with locating and purchasing the car, adding to the funds that they have saved so that they can purchase reliable, basic transportation to school and work. We assist with dmv paperwork and insurance and provide assistance with repairs and maintenance. 79 youth were assisted with transportation.
$95,184 spentof which $95,184 as grants17% of program spendingIlp - independent living skills classes are geared towards older teens and young adults. The classes cover how to open and maintain bank accounts, credit cards and loans, budgeting and saving, renting an apartment, relationship skills, college services, grocery shopping and meal preparation. We include visits to college campuses including pepperdine, ucsb, moorpark, and oxnard colleges. 98 youth attended our classes.
$53,717 spentof which $12,831 as grants9% of program spendingMentoring & life coaching - we match youth with a trained adult mentor that meets with the youth regularly to advise, support and encourage them through life. The resulting relationships often become the core support system in the youth's life. Our program was modified to include a coaching skill aspect for our mentors. Financial support - requests for immediate or emergency needs for those not covered by other programs are fulfilled through financial support. The requests include assistance with rent, utilities, food, clothing, car repairs or insurance, special training or school supplies. We received 271 requests from youth for financial services. Approximately 90% of these requests were granted. College tours - we took about 30 youth on overnight travel tours of colleges. One trip was up north to visit ucdavis and sonoma state university; one trip was to san diego to see ucsd and tour an active air craft carrier. Youth learned so much about college and even experienced bowling at the student center and tourist spots along the way. Holidays of hope is an open house event with family-centered activities, food and beverages. Youth are given a personal gift of their choice. Over…

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $85k to $171k (+103%).
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: 2022 23% · 2023 35% · 2024 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of RAISINGHOPE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 10 funders, grant income rose $500 → $157k.
13 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 90% 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 RAISINGHOPE 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
RAISINGHOPE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 61%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% 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 RAISINGHOPE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 92% · 2019 49% · 2020 51% · 2021 48% · 2022 67% · 2023 59% — 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.
How long its funders stay
33% of RAISINGHOPE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
90% of RAISINGHOPE INC'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 $104k that is directly attributable, 63% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $891k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
