What Wilmington Youth Rowing Association does
Mission
The Wilmington Youth Rowing Association (wyra) is a not for profit organization that uses the sport of rowing as a vehicle to raise self-esteem and teach self-discipline, responsibility, sportsmanship, and teamwork to a diverse population of area youth. Wyra staff work closely with rowers and their families to prepare them for the college application process and to ensure their success academically.
As stated 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 2021 to 2022, from $1.0M to $896k (−12%).
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: 2020 3% · 2021 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
36% of WILMINGTON YOUTH ROWING ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
