What Teen Center USA does
Mission
Teen Center USA provides core developmental building blocks for our community's teens' mental, physical and spirtiual well being.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Program
Teen Center USA has seen a huge influx in new members and daily attendance during the reporting period. In 2021/22 school year the center was running a daily attendance around 80-100 students. This year, however the center served anywhere from 80 to 100 plus students each day with our most attended day topping out at 127 students. Throughout the year, we executed many programs and activities for our students to participate in. After school drop in center - throughout the year, we were open monday to friday: 3pm-6pm. The drop in program is designed to be a safe place for teens to escape negative influences, find connection, receive homework help when requested and most importantly, build mentoring relationships with our staff and volunteers in a positive and encouraging environment. Friday night kickback - twice per month on fridays, we opened the center for friday night kickback from 7pm-9pm. We provided free pizza and soda to students who signed up. Offered structured games and team building activities. This program offers a constructive alternative to unsupervised house parties that they could otherwise attend. Breakfast club - each wednesday we provided free pancake breakfast…

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 $159k to $229k (+44%).
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: 2023 41%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of TEEN CENTER USA’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

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 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $14k → $12k.
5 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% 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 TEEN CENTER USA’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
TEEN CENTER USA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 TEEN CENTER USA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 78% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 77% · 2023 94% — growing more concentrated.
“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
25% of TEEN CENTER USA'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
83% of TEEN CENTER USA'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 $23k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $116k 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. 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.
