What Teens in Public Service does
Mission
Teens in Public Service produces future leaders committed to their communities by connecting teens with life-changing opportunities and internships at non-profit organizations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The tips program serves three groups in the puget sound region teens, non-profits, and the community at-large. Tips interns represent a multi-ethnic group of teens ages 15-19 from across king, snohomish, and pierce counties who demostrate proven leadership skills and an interest in serving their community. Tips interns work in a wide array of non-profit agencies that provide various services to the population of seattle. Tips began with just 11 interns serving 7 non-profit organizations. To date, over 1,200 teens have completed the tips program, and tips has partnered with over 240 non-profit organizations in the past 27 summers, combining to provide over 220,000 hours of service in the community. The mayors of seattle have endorsed our program for over 20 years, acknowledging the unique and valuable opportunity the tips program offers this regions youth.

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 $756k to $603k (−20%).
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 9% · 2022 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
104% of TEENS IN PUBLIC SERVICE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

8 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% 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 TEENS IN PUBLIC SERVICE’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
TEENS IN PUBLIC SERVICE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
59% 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 TEENS IN PUBLIC SERVICE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 41% · 2019 44% · 2020 34% · 2021 26% · 2022 27% · 2023 22% — 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.

56% of TEENS IN PUBLIC SERVICE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $394k 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. 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.
