What Youth Mentoring Action Network does
Mission
A youth organization that facilitates transformative MENTORING, EDUCATION, and WELLNESS opportunities for young people.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Through our annual Mental Health EP the organization brings together a group of young musicians ages 1624 with elder mentors to create an original music EP exploring the intersection of mentoring relationships and youth mental health. Participants worked with professional producers and audio engineers to write and record original songs, while a council of elder mentors developed an accompanying educational curriculum. The project culminated in a free, publicly accessible digital resource released during Mental Health Awareness Month, paired with a statewide training initiative delivered in partnership with MENTOR California to help mentoring organizations across the state integrate mental health awareness into their programming.
$378,749 spent45% of program spendingThe Black Girls EM Power (BGE) program provides resources, rest, and community support to Black girls actively engaged in community changemaking and social justice work. Through direct stipends and two annual retreats, the program offers participants space to recharge, connect with peers, and sustain their leadership and organizing efforts without financial strain.
$252,499 spent30% of program spendingThe Youth Ambassador Program develops the next generation of community leaders through an intensive, cohort-based leadership pathway serving 10 youth per cycle, ages 1624, from low-income communities of color in the Inland Empire, with emphasis on Black girls and LGBTQ+ youth. Participants begin with an opening retreat and progress through weekly mentorship, skills training in conflict resolution and public speaking, and hands-on experience leading a community-based initiative. The program aims for 80% of participants to successfully lead a community project and report meaningful gains in leadership and advocacy skills, building a sustainable pipeline in which alumni return as mentors for future cohorts.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $671k to $2.9M (+329%).
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.
96% of YOUTH MENTORING ACTION NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $5k → $745k.
11 of 33 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 MENTORING ACTION NETWORK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 33 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 MENTORING ACTION NETWORK has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 28% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
43% 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 MENTORING ACTION NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 100% · 2019 91% · 2020 78% · 2021 20% · 2022 31% · 2023 40% — 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
40% of YOUTH MENTORING ACTION NETWORK's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
66% of YOUTH MENTORING ACTION NETWORK's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
