The treatment parents in these homes are highly trained and closely supervised by a program consultant. They learn to use behavioral techniques and a structured program in their home to help foster children. Treatment parents work closely with biological parents, schools, caseworkers, therapists, courts, and others who are involved with the foster youth. Youth are referred to treatment foster homes by a variety of social service agencies, with the utah division of child and family services being the primary referral source. The youth referred are in need of a very structured setting as most of them have failed previous placements in less structured foster homes. The most common referral behaviors are school attendance and behavioral problems, authority conflicts, peer problems, anger/aggression control problems, sexual or physical abuse, neglect, running away, attention deficit or hyperactivity problems, and substance abuse. Treatment in foster care regularly helps youth successfully return…
$716,101 spent$7,552 earned by the program5% of program spendingMentors work with youth throughout utah who are either in the custody of a state agency or living with family in the community. Most youth are referred by the state department of human services. Mentors do a wide variety of things, such as tutoring youth with academic needs, driving youth to important appointments when a guardian can't, reminding youth of previously acquired skills to help them deal with everyday situations, and spending time just having fun while youth learn relationship building skills. Mentors help youth in as many ways as caseworkers see a need and make requests, and mentors provide a positive influence in the lives of many youth daily. Having a mentor is an opportunity for at risk youth to have another caring adult in their lives, and as we know, every youth is just one caring adult away from being a success.

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 2021 to 2022, from $26M to $28M (+9%).
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 64% · 2018 61% · 2019 51% · 2020 61% · 2021 60% · 2022 58% · 2023 54% · 2024 54% · 2025 66%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 13 funders to 39 funders, grant income rose $309k → $1.1M.
11 of 68 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% 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 YOUTH VILLAGE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 68 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
UTAH YOUTH VILLAGE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% 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
25% 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 YOUTH VILLAGE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 75% · 2018 71% · 2019 76% · 2020 22% · 2021 25% · 2022 33% · 2023 25% — 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
43% of UTAH YOUTH VILLAGE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
80% of UTAH YOUTH VILLAGE's grant income comes from Utah funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $746k arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
