Programs
Client Services: The Strategy of Early Intervention: SYMin serves street-dependent youth by meeting them where they are for physical relief, engaging them in core services to build trusted relationships, and helping them achieve life-change goals. Intervening during these formative years is critical; for youth, homelessness is often a temporary crisis that can be prevented from becoming a lifelong identity through immediate, targeted support. This work is intentionally challenging; we seek out a client base that has been deeply disappointed by life, requiring our team to provide persistent, steady support through the difficult ups and downs of recovery. Unprecedented Growth and Resilience: In 2025, SYMin served a record 2,299 unique clients, a 10% increase over 2024. Despite this 10% growth in service volume and a challenging inflationary environment, we successfully contained program cost growth to approximately 5% through staff creativity and rigorous operational discipline. Of our total clients, 488 were young adults in our primary target age range. While we focus on youth, meeting overage clients on outreach remains essential to discovering hidden young people; as these older…

In 2025, 532 volunteers contributed 6,762 hours, a 35% increase in total time served. This mobilization is the backbone of our ability to fight poverty on the front lines and was a vital component of our cost-containment strategy. Our volunteers locate and secure essential food and supplies-often reclaiming high-quality items that would otherwise go to waste-to meet the immediate needs of our clients. Record-Breaking In-Kind Support: The estimated value of non-cash donations reached an all- time high of $250,517 (up 35%). This included a 90% surge in in-kind food support ($147,393). These record-breaking in-kind contributions were the primary lever that allowed us to respond to surging needs and record-breaking client numbers while returning the organization to a break- even financial position after a challenging prior year. Following our relocation after the flood, we saw very large growth in volunteer helper rhythms. Indirect logistics and transport hours surged as volunteers stepped up to keep our expanded…
$58,496 spent8% of program spendingPublic Awareness: Making the Invisible Visible: Street youth are often ignored by society. Indeed their goal is often to be invisible for safety. SYMin works to tell their stories of resilience to ensure their needs are understood. In 2025, our subscriber network grew to 7,304 subscriptions, comprising a dedicated community of prayer warriors, volunteers, and donors. We maintained a stable base of 3,036 email newsletter subscribers and a dedicated team of 978 prayer warriors. Effective and Economical Reach: To support our fiscal recovery and reach our break-even goal, we focused our awareness efforts on high-efficiency digital channels, utilizing the most cost- effective means available to grow our income and supporter base quickly. Through 39 public awareness events and service projects, we educated the community on the unique challenges facing street youth. Our digital presence reached 2,641 Facebook followers, sharing stories that humanize the struggle of the invisible youth and invite the public into meaningful, life- changing advocacy.
$37,347 spent5% of program spendingTraining Future Leaders: SYMin trains the next generation of poverty-informed leaders through a paid, 10-week curriculum. In 2025, we trained 8 unique interns (a 33% increase), providing them with 184 hours of direct training and nearly 1,000 hours of supervised service to clients. These interns provided labor equivalent to one full-time team member, expanding our capacity to deliver safe, effective programs with high efficiency. By educating these leaders in the unique culture of street youth, we ensure the fight against poverty continues with skill and empathy.

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 2022 to 2023, from $764k to $994k (+30%).
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: 2021 0% · 2022 1% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
66% 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 Street Youth Ministry of Austin.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 58% · 2021 60% · 2022 34% · 2023 42% — 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
60% of Street Youth Ministry of Austin's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 41% 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
57% of Street Youth Ministry of Austin'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 $187k that is directly attributable, 64% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $244k 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.
