What Youth Challenge Inc does
Mission
Faith recovery is a dbhds licensed clinical christian addiction treatment program serving men ages 18 and up. Our campus located in beautiful williamsburg, va has two dbhds accredited recovery residences where residents find hope and healing. Within these residences we provide a safe sober living environment which includes a clinically managed recovery services program which meets state and national standards. With the use of evidence-based clinical practices and biblical principles we aim to treat both the behavioral and spiritual components of addiction, helping our residents to find and embrace recovery. Faith recovery is a non-profit 501c3 organization.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Our comprehensive program consists of 2 recovery homes that combine both clinical counseling and spiritual components. We teach recovery tools, life skills, and spiritual disciplines, with a biblical foundation. The complete program is 6 months in length. Graduates of the full program may be eligible to live in our transitional housing for 3-6 months. This provides residents with continued support and accountability as they transition back into the community. Our 30 day program serves those men age 18 and older who are suffering from substance use disorder. During the introduction to the recovery phase residents focus on developing a solid foundation.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,340,671.
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.
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 $858k to $1.3M (+51%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $28k → $47k.
4 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% 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 CHALLENGE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 13 of 14 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
YOUTH CHALLENGE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
78% 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 CHALLENGE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 89% · 2018 55% · 2019 66% · 2020 34% · 2021 81% · 2022 98% · 2023 53% — 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
50% of YOUTH CHALLENGE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
100% of YOUTH CHALLENGE INC's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $109k 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.
