What Urban Impact Foundation does
Mission
To conduct various programs intended to transform inner city "at risk" youth on the north side of pittsburgh into successful, contributing and functionable members of society.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Athletic programs consist of basketball, baseball and soccer leagues, and sports clinics. There were over 1,000 participants in various athletic programs where all events were conducted in a safe environment. The youth were supervised by qualified adults who provided models and coaching on how to demonstrate superior social and team work skills in a competitive environment. This includes respect for authority, for others, for self and the property that is being used. Also taught was a sense of self worth while developing physical skills in the programs.
$936,290 spent18% of program spendingEducation and summer youth camp programs - summer internships, an eight week summer day camp for children in grades 1-8, and other summer programs. Typically there are between 190 and 250 participants in summer day camp including high school interns from the community. The goal, which has been consistently maintained over the years is for 90% or more students to maintain or improve their reading and math proficiency measured via assessments at the beginning and end of camp. There are typically 45 or more interns in addition to permanent staff that work with the students. A wide range of activities include field trips, camping, healthcare screening, vision screening, guest speakers, and a variety of physical activities. This was in addition to the academic refreshment for literature and math. In addition, urban impact offers other academic services to the community including weekly tutoring after school, in school literacy support, and in school math support. The in school services are performed by urban impact staff and volunteers working under the direction of the teachers and principals to help 324 needy students and provide one on one tutoring and help to the classrooms.

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 2024 to 2025, from $12M to $19M (+52%).
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: 2025 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of URBAN IMPACT FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 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 broadened from 14 funders to 45 funders, grant income rose $328k → $1.9M.
23 of 100 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% 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 URBAN IMPACT FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 100 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
URBAN IMPACT FOUNDATION 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
58% 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 URBAN IMPACT FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 32% · 2019 28% · 2020 41% · 2021 22% · 2022 26% · 2023 16% — 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
45% of URBAN IMPACT FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
54% of URBAN IMPACT FOUNDATION'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 $5.4M that is directly attributable, 92% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
Against its field
URBAN IMPACT FOUNDATION runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 2,396 human services nonprofits its size.
