What Young Survival Coalition Inc does
Mission
Ysc supports the young breast cancer community and ignites global collaboration to improve quality of life worldwide.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
When you're diagnosed with breast cancer before age 40, the experience can feel isolatingyou're often the youngest in the room, facing challenges most resources don't address. As the global home for young people affected by breast cancer, ysc provides medically reviewed resources and expert-led community tailored to their needs. Each year, more than 600 people gather at the ysc summit for evidence-based education and shared understanding, while the ysc wellness summit offers a retreat focused on wellness and mental health. Through project 528, ysc surveyed more than 3,800 young adults across 67 countries, elevating underrepresented voices in research and policy. Year-round, ysc offers education, financial assistance, and more than 130 in-person groups nationwide.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.6M to $2.3M (+45%).
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: 2017 9% · 2018 11% · 2019 11% · 2020 3% · 2021 18% · 2022 5% · 2025 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of YOUNG SURVIVAL COALITION INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 17 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $346k → $929k.
14 of 65 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 63% 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 SURVIVAL COALITION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 65 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 SURVIVAL COALITION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 SURVIVAL COALITION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 52% · 2018 52% · 2019 88% · 2020 61% · 2021 43% · 2022 63% · 2023 70% — growing more concentrated.
“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
23% of YOUNG SURVIVAL COALITION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% 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
63% of YOUNG SURVIVAL COALITION 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 $2.3M that is directly attributable, 51% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
