What Youth Fair Chance Inc does
Mission
Youth Fair Chance is a not for profit building materials warehouse whose mission is to divert usable materials from landfills and keep them in viable use in our communities. The agency also works to eliminate improvident dumping and to educate the public, especially youth, on the importance of recycling and reuse.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
On August 1, 2025 the Cincinnati and Lexington locations ceased operating under Youth Fair Chance and formed their own 501c3 corporation, named Reuse Centers, formed in Ohio. A bill of sale and purchase agreement was entered into between the two organizations to transfer all assets for $50,000, including inventory and vehicles.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Diverting usable building materials from landfills - Asset Recycling work to rescue usable building materials from landfills. Approximately 9320 tons of materials are diverted annually helping to prevent unnecessary dumping. Recycling building materials - Youth Fair Chance makes rescued building materials available to those most in need. The warehouses are open to the public and individuals and families are able to accomplish renovations, improvements, and repairs they would be unable to complete. Additionally, Youth Fair Chance collaborates with other community agencies like Little League, Earth Day, Community Theatres, Churches, Veterans Service Agencies, Community Resource Centers, and Hospital Service Agencies (among others) to provide badly-needed building materials and supplies.
$398,773 spent$268,387 earned by the program41% of program spendingReUse Centers- Cincinnati, OH, Lexington, KY The ReUse Centers follow the model of Asset Recycling in Indianapolis, IN, but with an added component. They also de-construct old buildings, warehouses, and homes to aid in the reclamation of land and the rescue of usable materials, thus, lessening the burden on landfills. The Centers take the materails and prepare them for reuse. Items removed from old structures include plumbing fixtures, copper pipe, water heaters, windows, doors, cabinets, etc. Its team and the equipment and manpower arrive to recover all reusable materials before demolition. All agencies participate in national recycling network projects (product sharing). Deconstruction is only part of the ReUse Centers mission. The numbers reflect the entire mission. These two locations ceased operating under Youth Fair Chance on August 1, 2025.
$567,529 spent$721,115 earned by the program59% of program spendingEducating communities about recycling - Youth Fair Chance educates youth and the community in general about recycling through its website, through community newsletters, through its new email marketing campaign, and through its constituency list for contacts including clients, donors, and other community agencies. Outreach budget stays very low as its run on a volunteer basis and with contributed materials. The warehouses welcome tour groups to explain more about the agency's mission. All people, especially youth, are encouraged to volunteer. Additionally, YFC representatives are sometimes invited to speak at events and other gatherings or to the media. Youth Fair Chance is committed to sharing reclaimed and rescued materials with other not-for-profit agencies, with a focus on helping agencies who serve youth. It is dedicated to helping preserve resources for the future. Youth Fair Chance is a member of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's Pollution Prevention Program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $322k to $775k (+140%).
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: 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 6% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $0 → $169k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 FAIR CHANCE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 3 of 4 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 FAIR CHANCE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 98% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 FAIR CHANCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
YOUTH FAIR CHANCE INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Indiana, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $115 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.
