What Youth At Heart Inc does
Mission
The mission is to provide expanded learning opportunities that develop character, instill values, and equip youth for success through academic, enrichment, and sports activities; specifically serve youth attending Title 1, low-performing schools or living in high poverty areas. Core programs for the elementary clients include daily homework help/tutoring followed by enrichment clubs. Club opportunities include S.T.E.M. and S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), robotics, cooking, tutoring, mentoring, sports (tennis, basketball), health and nutrition, and field trips. Our junior high program is offered as part of AfterOpp, a collaborative partnership that offers interest-based club options, including robotics, theater, ceramics, coding, soccer, academic assistance and field trips. The top five at-risk characteristics include 1) Food insecurity, 2) Below grade level academic success, 3) Lack of behavior management skills, 4) Lack of consistent parental support, and
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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 2019 to 2020, from $225k to $490k (+118%).
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 33% · 2018 30% · 2019 28% · 2020 44% · 2021 39% · 2022 56% · 2023 71% · 2024 44%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Youth At Heart Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $255k → $867k.
3 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% 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 At Heart 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
Youth At Heart Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
88% 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 At Heart Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 93% · 2019 77% · 2020 59% · 2021 53% · 2022 46% · 2023 55% — 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
46% of Youth At Heart Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 60% 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
97% of Youth At Heart Inc's grant income comes from Oklahoma funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
