All of Youthnet's programs promote the development of client confidence and competence to promote personal resilience and self-sufficiency. Youthnet utilizes evidence based practices and the effectiveness of Youthnet's approach has been independently evaluated as effective in achieving results. The agency has received repeated recognition for its outstanding services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Community and family services - Youthnet provides independent and transitional living skills training/services to youth who are currently in or have been in foster care. They receive one-on-one independent living skills, training and case management services at no cost to them. All clients have individualized plans based on an assessment. Youth receive hands-on training in self-sufficiency skills such as obtaining housing, creating and managing a budget, career and education planning, engaging in safe and healthy relationships, and securing employment. While the primary goal is safe housing and financial literacy (in an effort to decrease homelessness and dependence on public resources), these youth will also be connected to service learning opportunities and receive assistance in the application process for post-secondary or vocational training.Youthnet provides foster care services through the recruitment, licensing, supervision and support of foster families for children in need of safe, loving homes. We provide ongoing case management, training and respite care to our licensed families as well as to caregiving families identified by dcyf throughout the puget sound region. In…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $3,586,450.
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 $1.7M to $2.3M (+40%).
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 28% · 2018 23% · 2019 21% · 2020 15% · 2021 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
2% of YOUTHNET’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $31k → $83k.
4 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 YOUTHNET’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
YOUTHNET has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% 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
58% 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 YOUTHNET.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 35% · 2019 70% · 2020 37% · 2021 41% · 2022 36% · 2023 36% — 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 YOUTHNET's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
81% of YOUTHNET's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $98k 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.
