On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Line 2 New or Changed ServicesDuring the fiscal year, URGENT, Inc. continued to strengthen and align its creative talent development pipeline across age groups, deepening connections between early creative learning, skill-building, and paid creative work. Enhancements included expanded paid project opportunities, strengthened employer and community partnerships, and clearer progression from practice-based learning into internships and apprenticeships
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Creative Learning Youth Development Elementary and Middle SchoolURGENT, Inc. provided culturally responsive, project-based creative learning opportunities for elementary and middle school youth through afterschool and summer programs focused on storytelling, media arts, and creative expression. These programs emphasize voice, belonging, collaboration, and foundational creative skills. During the year, URGENT served 116 youth across 6 Miami program locations. Participants produced original creative work and demonstrated increased engagement, confidence, and participation in collaborative projects, as measured through attendance records, expo events, and participant reflections.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
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 $522k to $841k (+61%).
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 95% · 2018 92% · 2019 91% · 2020 90% · 2021 78% · 2022 86% · 2023 75% · 2024 53% · 2025 62%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of URGENT INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 5 funders, grant income rose $114k → $376k.
3 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 URGENT 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
URGENT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% 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
60% 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 URGENT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 71% · 2018 48% · 2019 100% · 2020 76% · 2021 57% · 2022 48% · 2023 67% — 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
29% of URGENT INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
52% of URGENT INC's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $178k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
