What The Bay Area Urban Network Inc does
Mission
The bay area urban network is an oakland based urban youth program whose mission is to bring hope back into the lives of oakland's youth. Our plan is to place four youth directors in each of the seven districts of oakland, dividing each district in half. These directors meet weekly to plan and strategize on reaching their various communities. This year we are building a coalition of oakland churches and churches from outside of oakland to combine resources of money and volunteers to:1. Resolve racial conflict by creating effective communication and providing rational alternatives to the violent gang life.2. Partner with oakland schools to provide counseling and tutoring.3. Proactively address issues with solutions.4. Provide a safe environment for youth to meet for worship and recreation.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Our buses transport youth to our events and bring events to them. God's power still stands firm and relentless as we see an average of 100-120 students at our friday events, 60-80 children at our saturday program and 40-65 youth returning every wednesday evening for discipleship and 25-40 young adults meeting twice monthly.here's a brief synopsis of some of the ministry occurring because our youth directors are passionate about "leading a city to god":s.l.I.c.e.

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 $1.1M to $2.0M (+83%).
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 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
114% of THE BAY AREA URBAN NETWORK INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 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 narrowed from 6 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $199k → $247k.
7 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 THE BAY AREA URBAN NETWORK 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
THE BAY AREA URBAN NETWORK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
29% 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 THE BAY AREA URBAN NETWORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 61% · 2019 70% · 2020 66% · 2021 60% · 2022 30% · 2023 72% — broadly stable.
“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
63% of THE BAY AREA URBAN NETWORK INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% 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
100% of THE BAY AREA URBAN NETWORK INC's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $999k 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.
