What Youth and Family Counseling does
Mission
Youth & Family Counseling is a nonprofit organization dedicated to opening doors to mental healthcare so people can cope, heal and thrive. Their work addresses the root causes and systemic barriers that limit access to behavioral healthcare. They operate from three offices across Lake County with the mission to remove barriers to care while promoting long-term community well-being.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
YFCs Counseling Program provides accessible, affordable, and exceptional mental healthcare by reducing barriers such as cost, transportation, and language. YFC accepts Medicaid and major insurance plans, offers a sliding fee scale, and provides culturally and linguistically responsive services.

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 $811k to $1.6M (+95%).
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 2% · 2018 2% · 2019 3% · 2020 14% · 2021 9% · 2022 2% · 2023 20% · 2024 5% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
36% of YOUTH AND FAMILY COUNSELING’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $44k → $533k.

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
YOUTH AND FAMILY COUNSELING has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
46% 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 YOUTH AND FAMILY COUNSELING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 68% · 2019 38% · 2020 34% · 2021 21% · 2022 25% · 2023 32% — 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
53% of YOUTH AND FAMILY COUNSELING's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
84% of YOUTH AND FAMILY COUNSELING's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $885k arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
