What Utah Development Academy does
Mission
Utah Development Academy (uda) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit sports based youth development organization in the salt lake city area. We want to make the benefits of youth soccer accessible to any child who is eager and willing to learn, regardless of their background. Our hope is to work with players until graduation to ensure that they learn the skills to be successful on and off the pitch. Our mission is to create pathways for all youth using soccer to inspire them to overcome life's challenges and achieve their full potential.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Program
Utah Development Academy's competition program serves 400 boys and girls between the ages of 7-18. All participants are registered with the utah youth soccer association and play a fall and spring season in gaming leagues hosted by the state association. Our goal is to ensure that children in underserved communities have easy and affordable access to quality soccer programs that support their physical and personal development.

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 2018 to 2019, from $147k to $75k (−49%).
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 3% · 2018 3% · 2019 5% · 2020 3% · 2021 10% · 2022 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
29% of UTAH DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $16k → $5k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% 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 UTAH DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY’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
UTAH DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 UTAH DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 87% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 59% · 2021 89% · 2022 100% · 2023 98% — growing more concentrated.
“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
92% of UTAH DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY's grant income comes from Utah funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $64k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
