Programs
Ogden shelter yf at the ogden shelter has achieved significant milestones in the past year. We received the employee retention credit funding and were awarded the code blue/winter response contract for the first time by ohs. Despite the new double staffing requirement, which posed a challenge for employee recruitment and staff retention, we managed to keep staff turnover to a minimum. Our internal platform has been updated with new data entry systems, better tracking of incident reports, and improved hr files. The updates to licensing general provisions initiated a full policy manual update to ensure we stay within regulations. We also hired a new external relations director to assist with grant applications and finding new funding opportunities. The ogden shelter sheltered 90 youth an average of 25 nights each for a total of 2307 shelter nights; served 4,275 meals; facilitated 865 shelter case management sessions; offered access to the resource room 311 times; and diverted 37 rhy from entering the shelter. Additionally, our staff provided 802 drop-in services; contacted youth in aftercare 90 times. Yf had a total of 67 volunteers doing 1,956.75 hours of volunteer work.

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 2020 to 2021, from $1.6M to $3.9M (+139%).
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 17% · 2018 25% · 2019 34% · 2020 62% · 2021 48% · 2022 45% · 2023 64% · 2024 63%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of YOUTH FUTURES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $92k → $401k.
8 of 53 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 FUTURES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 53 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 FUTURES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
53% 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 FUTURES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 60% · 2018 42% · 2019 62% · 2020 85% · 2021 60% · 2022 33% · 2023 51% — 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
27% of YOUTH FUTURES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
88% of YOUTH FUTURES's grant income comes from Utah funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $438k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
