What Young Icons does
Mission
Our mission is to stabilize the music community by Providing direct access to the recording arts for young musicians via mentorship, training and collaboration. We built this program to attack a major issue we see in Charlotte. "There are no recording artist development programs in this city for youth or adults". While Charlotte is a great place to live, it does not offer the necessary channels for creatives to dwell. Well at least until now. Young Icon's is that safe haven for your child to explore limitless possibilities as a recording artist and creative. Talks from Industry Pro's, celebrity and coaches, Studio Quality Recordings, Music Video Shoot, Vocal Coaching, Songwriting, Performance Coaching, Vocal Arranging
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We planned to start in 2022 and waited to start operations. We are now rolling effectively.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
From the IRS filings of Young Icons’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 Icons leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Icons.
“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.
