01What it does

What Team Up Philly does

Mission

Team Up Philly is dedicated to empowering girls in under-served philadelphia neighborhoods to lead healthy, confident, and successful lives. Since 2006, Team Up Philly has been working to meet the needs of girls who live in communities lacking access to sports, leadership, and academic after-school and summer programs. Since the first 6-week basketball program Team Up Philly piloted in a west philadelphia gym, programs have expanded to include tutoring, basketball, tennis, swimming, healthy cooking classes, leadership initiatives, life skills training, a program for juvenile offenders, and summer camps. All programs are comprehensive, combining sports, academic support, character and leadership development, and nutrition education with mentoring from caring coaches and tutors. Team Up Philly utilizes a long-term approach, providing programs for girls throughout middle and high school, in order to have the most lasting and positive impat on the trajectory of their lives.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Girls clubs for 4th-8th graders in under-resourced areas combine fitness, nutrition education, and social-emotional learning with long-term mentoring. Girls clubs offer safe spaces for girls to grow stronger, and develop the key traits of cooperation, resilience, teamwork, selfregulation, and respect. Tennis and camp programs keep girls connected on weekends and during the summer. Post 8th grade, participants move into the leadership program which prepares them to meet the challenges of high school and beyond. Every day, the girls challenge and support themselves and each other, building a positive peer network and developing the skills to succeed in life.

Time is spent in fitness and sports activities, and in the classroom engaging in social-emotional learning activities.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $16k → $41k.

6 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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 TEAM UP PHILLY’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

TEAM UP PHILLY has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

48% 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 TEAM UP PHILLY.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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. $204k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
