What The Hyde Square Task Force Inc does
Mission
Creative youth development and boston's latin quarter cultural engagement.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Hyde square task force (hstf)'s creative youth development programs target socioeconomic resource gaps in our community by serving over 200 youth ages 13 to 25 annually. Hstf's core jovenes en accion/youth in action (jea) program welcomes youth in grades 8 to 12 to a comprehensive program including academic support/college & career preparation, afro-latin arts, and civic engagement/youth organizing. Hstf's continuum of support allows youth to transition from jea to our caminos college and career pathways program for youth from 11th grade to age 25. Both jea and caminos include mental health support year-round and onsite at hstf. Hstf provides these resources at no cost to our community, youth, or families.

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 2020 to 2021, from $5.9M to $7.8M (+33%).
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: 2017 17% · 2018 17% · 2019 23% · 2020 15% · 2021 5% · 2022 9% · 2023 17% · 2024 28% · 2025 22%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 18 funders to 41 funders, grant income rose $759k → $1.5M.
12 of 88 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% 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 HYDE SQUARE TASK FORCE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 88 funders by total. 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 HYDE SQUARE TASK FORCE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
61% 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 HYDE SQUARE TASK FORCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 27% · 2018 26% · 2019 35% · 2020 26% · 2021 54% · 2022 23% · 2023 23% — 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
46% of THE HYDE SQUARE TASK FORCE 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
80% of THE HYDE SQUARE TASK FORCE INC's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
