What Youth Outright Wnc Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to create a world in which all queer and trans youth are supported to realize their power and autonomy through self-determination. We help youth resist oppression by building community, healing, and growing together. Youth outright engages in intersectional and intergenerational dialogue with a focus on gender and racial justice. Our work includes programming for youth ages 11-24, training for youth- serving organizations, and advocacy for policies that protect queer and trans youth.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Offering more programs at a consistent location led to increased participation and greater exposure for our organization.

We also hired a communications intern to meet the need for more marketing to reach our core audience. At the end of may, our executive director of six years moved on to a position at the gsa network, with which we work closely in our role as the gsa network of north carolina. In 2024, we had over 170 gsa clubs registered with us throughout the state, which…

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 2019 to 2020, from $77k to $291k (+277%).
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.
98% of YOUTH OUTRIGHT WNC INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
