What Young Gifted & Green does
Mission
Bringing like-minded organizations together to collectively take action and advocate against the crisis of lead exposure and environmental injustice specifically in disadvantaged communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
PROGRAM NAME: Youth EJ Programs DESCRIPTION: The Youth EJ (Environmental Justice) Program is a powerful leadership initiative that centers the voices of Black and Latinx Gen Z leaders in Flint and the surrounding Genesee County area. A cohort of 3-5 empowered youth from across Flint and Genesee will serve a full year term. YGG will assist the youth council members on becoming environmental activists and help them build platforms to speak on EJ issues (political advocacy and community organizing) at a local, state, and national level. The Council will also be a representative of YGG when youth opportunities arise. There will be opportunities for in-person convenings like the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference and the annual Flint Weekend of Service.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $433k to $780k (+80%).
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 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 7% · 2024 1% · 2025 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of YOUNG GIFTED & GREEN’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $16k → $659k.
6 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 GIFTED & GREEN’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
YOUNG GIFTED & GREEN 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
74% 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 GIFTED & GREEN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 47% · 2021 31% · 2022 28% · 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.
How long its funders stay
75% of YOUNG GIFTED & GREEN's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 32% 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
YOUNG GIFTED & GREEN draws 58% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $426k 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.
