What Young and Brave Inc does
Mission
Dedicated to helping today's youth beat cancer. We aim to help these brave fighters and their families overcome the challenges and hardships brought upon by cancer. Built on the foundation of love we exist to inspire, encourage, inform, as well as to invest directly into treatment and recovery. We do so through networking, fundraising drives, community building, and financial support. Our one goal is to fight cancer alongside those that shouldn't fight alone.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Our foundation raises funds for families of young adults battling cancer. We aim to educate, inform as well as invest directly in the families to help with the burden and hardships brought on by a cancer diagnosis. During this year, the foundation has donated to 6 different cancer patients and their families. The recipients are able to use the funds to pay for medical expenses, living expenses and/or help compensate for lost wages due to illness. Additionally, an online fundraising platform was created and maintained where young cancer patients and their families can tell their stories, offer and receive emotional support, and the general public can donate funds directly to patients struggling with cancer.

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 2022 to 2023, from $177k to $138k (−22%).
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.
138% of YOUNG AND BRAVE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $9k → $35k.
4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
YOUNG AND BRAVE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% of grant income and the top three 84%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
40% 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 AND BRAVE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 66% · 2019 100% · 2020 97% · 2021 92% · 2022 56% · 2023 30% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of YOUNG AND BRAVE INC's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $26k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
