$80,115 spent$488,743 earned by the program24% of program spendingThroughout the year our organization has witnessed a significant impact on the children families mentors and volunteers we support. Our Summer Camp program provided a transformative experience for 120 children with 67 boys and 53 girls many of whom carry the burdens of trauma poverty or premature adult responsibilities. During this week-long camp these children had the opportunity to simply enjoy being kids. Engaging in activities like swimming ziplining and sharing personal stories in their cabins they experienced moments of pure joy and healing. These experiences reassured each child that they are valued heard safe and an essential part of a supportive community.
$104,421 spent$3,380 earned by the program32% of program spendingThe THRIVE!-4-Kids mentoring program provided support and guidance to 97 children aged 7-15 throughout the school year fostering healing and growth. The program was extended to cater to the needs of youth aged 13 and above through the Emerging Leaders Academy tailored for students in grades 7th-8th. Through weekly small-group sessions children developed strong relationships with adult mentors delving into essential life topics like resilience character leadership and faith. In communities where consistent support is limited THRIVE! offers a sense of empowerment safety and inclusion. Witnessing children embrace their self-worth aspire to greater goals and confront challenges with increased confidence is a testament to the programs impact. This year THRIVE! expanded its reach to include two low-income housing complexes Monterey Pines and Cypress Pines providing mentorship directly in the neighborhoods where families reside. Additionally the online platform launched in 2021 continues to flourish via Zoom ensuring that children outside of Richmond also have a reliable and meaningful community to engage with.

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.

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $621k to $460k (−26%).
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: 2022 10% · 2024 19%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 14 funders, grant income fell $255k → $206k.
8 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 66% 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 TODAYS YOUTH MATTER’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
TODAYS YOUTH MATTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
70% 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 TODAYS YOUTH MATTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 29% · 2019 34% · 2020 23% · 2021 22% · 2022 29% · 2023 24% — 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
69% of TODAYS YOUTH MATTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
66% of TODAYS YOUTH MATTER'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 $750k that is directly attributable, 55% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
