What Youth Achievers USA Institute does
Mission
Youth Achievers USA Institute (YouthUSA), a 501c3 public charity committed to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty), promotes win-win UNSDG 17 Partnerships with The Joint SDG Fund, an inter-agency, pooled mechanism for integrated policy support and strategic financing and The World Bank. The charity sponsored weekly development activities via Microsoft Teams to demonstrate cost-effective engagement for "Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: the effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions". Charitable work culminated in developing partnership with State of The African Diaspora which provides capacity building outcomes for the AU year of Reparative Justice through reparations. The charity is awaiting regulatory action by member governments of the AU to model replicable budgets at the grassroots level.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
THE ANNUAL YOUTH ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS (AYAA) is a proprietary circular capacity building program created by YouthUSA Founder Stephanie A. Walker Stradford. In 2025, the program continued to use Microsoft Sharepoint collaboration software to demonstrate capacity building in support of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1, NoPoverty2030 MissionPossible. Two Sub-Saharan Africa communities of faith identified prospective beneficiaries of FAITH FAMILY TRUSTS using THE ANNUAL YOUTH ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS program model. Two Generation Alpha beneficiaries in the Kingdom of Lesotho, a UN identified LDC (Least Developed Country), surrounded by South Africa, and three Generation Alpha beneficiaries in Ivory Coast, a country on the southern coast of West Africa. A 20k USD appropriation from the J.D. and Laurena Walker Development Program funded YouthUSA Fellowships to past winners, Gen Z Joi Butler, Gen Y Elana Jenkins and Gen Z Intern Emanuella Ingrid Kacou to develop and certify Gen Z trustees for a World Bank Umbrella 2.0 Trust. Community Asset Managers Maselemeng Molupe and Kouakou Akissi Marguerite identified a total of 27 Generation Alpha candidates for economic inclusion.

The program monitored budgets within a $100,000 in FDIC Insured bank assets toward an endowment for sustaining #NoPoverty2030. A replicable $100 million endowment is envisioned through crowdfunding and grants, demonstrated by the assessed needs of 100 Generation Alpha beneficiaries. Each Gen Alpha has a projected $1 million Whole Village Trust, economically including 20 caring adults, each with a minimum net worth of $50,000 by June 9, 2030. JDLW 2023 program spending of $3042 supported cash and hardware grants. The program invested in maintenance of virtual (Internet sites) and real property (GrandMentors' House), compounding value to inherited resources from the J.D. and Laurena Walker Family. In 1996, Laurena Puriefoy Walker invested faith in the YouthUSA community as its first GrandMentor.

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 2023 to 2024, from $170k to $142k (−17%).
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.
39% of YOUTH ACHIEVERS USA INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 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 YOUTH ACHIEVERS USA INSTITUTE’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.
Where its funders are
100% of YOUTH ACHIEVERS USA INSTITUTE'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
