What The Liv Project does
Mission
The Liv Project is a non-profit organization that develops creative tools that encourage fearless conversations to turn the tide of youth suicide.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We envision a global shift where fear of judgement does not hold anyone back from speaking openly about their mental health. A world where we all have the skills to compassionately listen, support and safely guide those in crisis, so that youth suicide is no longer an option. We are a group of artists, filmmakers, and creative humans from around the world, whose lives have been touched by youth suicide. We are collaborating with youth and mental health professionals to create thoughtful experiences and tools aimed at sparking the kind of fearless communication that can save lives. We're constantly imagining and building new tools and resources designed to eliminate the stigma of mental health issues and reverse the soaring rate of youth suicide. Some of the tools and resources The Liv Project provides includes:speaker series: virtual presentations and in-person talks on the power of fearless conversation to turn the tide of youth suicide by sharing lived experiences, stories, and empowering others to share their own experiences.creative workshops: these workshops are designed for high school and college youth as well as adult multigenerational audiences.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $150,634.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $143k to $244k (+71%).
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.
84% of THE LIV PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $13k → $118k.
5 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 LIV PROJECT’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 LIV PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 LIV PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 47% · 2023 29% — 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.
Where its funders are
72% of THE LIV PROJECT'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 $93k that is directly attributable, 51% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $233k 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.
