Programs
See schedule o. "going deep with a few...." raising up a new generation of young leaders to support the rapid spread of the gospel throughout africa, asia and latin america. Yli's calling is radical in its simplicity: mentoring young leaders through life-on-life relationships to draw near to god's heart, love the lost and broken, and pour their lives deeply into a few. Simply by teaching young leaders to minister as jesus did, yli is seeking profound heart transformation in leaders that spreads throughout their communities. Their strategy is to "identify" emerging young leaders who have a heart for god, "invest" - establish intentional friendships and life-on-life mentoring and "increase" - teach a new generation of leaders to pour their lives deeply into a few. Since 2002, over 119 training conferences for over 3,444 leaders have been conducted in ghana, west africa.

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 $182k to $252k (+39%).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $33k → $57k.
4 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 LEADERS INTERNATIONAL INC’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 LEADERS INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 74% 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 LEADERS INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 79% · 2018 88% · 2019 77% · 2020 79% · 2021 82% · 2022 70% · 2023 68% — 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 LEADERS INTERNATIONAL INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $500 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Georgia funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $420k 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.
