What Youth Excellence Performing Arts Workshop does
Mission
Encourage youth, through the arts, to pursue lifestyles of excellence in Jesus Christ.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2023 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
No longer offer yepaw 365 nor yepaw institute
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Yepaw summer has served over 6,000 students and volunteers for 35+ years. Recently adding 4-11 year olds we now serve ages 4-18. This program uses an intensive 1 week experience used to teach excellence in all areas of life. The experience concludes with a community performance highlighting skills learned in 5 arts-based areas. Historically, 250-320 youth have participated in the dynamic week-long program and 1,500-3,000 people have attended the closing concert. Summer workshop goals include developing knowledge and enjoyment of the arts, acquisition of key arts performance skills, and most fundamentally, encouraging youth to make positive choices by building their self-confidence and hope for the future.

The 3 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $68,770.
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 2017 to 2018, from $36k to $81k (+122%).
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 3% · 2018 3% · 2019 10% · 2020 31% · 2021 40% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of YOUTH EXCELLENCE PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOP’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $16k → $27k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 91% 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 EXCELLENCE PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOP’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 EXCELLENCE PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 EXCELLENCE PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOP.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 77% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 95% · 2022 59% · 2023 85% — 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.
Where its funders are
91% of YOUTH EXCELLENCE PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOP'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 $24k that is directly attributable, 57% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $242k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
