What W20 Foundation does
Mission
W20 Foundation empowers youth to become community leaders through service, enrichment, and recognition. Its three core progroms include: teamup4community, a digital-service learning platform for student-athletes; a scholarship program rewarding youth for exellence in academics, leadership, and service; and fuel the movement, a storytelling and engagement initiative that promotes civic action across generations.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
While the core services provided by the organization have remained consistent from 2023 to 2024, the W20 Foundation undertook an internal program restructuring for 2024 activities for improved financial tracking, outcome measurement, and program clarity. Activities that were previously grouped under the TeamUp4Community (TU4C) program have now been formally delineated into three distinct programs: TeamUp4Community, which continues to focus on youth-led service learning and digital impact tracking; the Scholarship Program, which recognizes student-athletes with merit-based scholarships tied to civic leadership and service; and Fuel the Movement, which promotes public engagement through storytelling, speaking engagements, and digital outreach. These two new programsthe Scholarship Program and Fuel the Movement are newly reported as separate program lines on the Form 990 beginning in 2024. However, they do not reflect the addition of entirely new services. Rather, they are primarily a reclassification of existing activities previously embedded within the broader TU4C initiative. This structural update was implemented to better align the organizations accounting and program reporting with actual outcomes, impact areas, and future funding streams.Fuel the Movement was launched in 2024 as a formal engagement program of the W20 Foundation. It includes the organizations annual Golf Outing, public speaking appearances, a soon-to-be-launched digital podcast platform, and issue-based…

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 $52k to $17k (−66%).
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.
0% of W20 FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 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
2018 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $16k → $4k.
1 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 W20 FOUNDATION’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
W20 FOUNDATION 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
35% 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 W20 FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 96% · 2019 55% · 2020 100% · 2021 67% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.
How long its funders stay
17% of W20 FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 33% 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
94% of W20 FOUNDATION's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
