What Young Adult Institute Inc does
Mission
Yai's mission is to empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/dd) to live the lives they truly desire. We provide a wide range of supports and services that are person centered and person directed. By seeing beyond disabilities, we promote opportunities for people with I/dd to live, love, work, and learn in their communities. Our supports and services cover the lifespan and include residential opportunities, day services, employment services, community habilitation, family support programs, therapies, respite, and recreation.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

We operate group homes that provide 24-hour supervision as well as apartments for those who are more independent and require less supports.

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 $134M to $243M (+81%).
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: 2021 4% · 2022 2% · 2023 3% · 2024 6% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
7% of YOUNG ADULT INSTITUTE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (17% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $73k → $210k.
13 of 53 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 YOUNG ADULT INSTITUTE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 53 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
YOUNG ADULT INSTITUTE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 YOUNG ADULT INSTITUTE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 89% · 2019 33% · 2020 90% · 2021 38% · 2022 28% · 2023 34% — broadly stable.
“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 YOUNG ADULT INSTITUTE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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
89% of YOUNG ADULT INSTITUTE INC'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. $1.3M 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.
