Financial Analysis
Analysis of General, Program, and Trustee Giving over the last decade shows
an undue dependence on Trustee Giving. (See chart below.) Despite peaks in
2014-15 and 2018-19, even Trustee Giving shows a downward trend over the
last decade, reflecting a sense of fatigue. General Giving stayed flat beween
2011-12 and 2019-20. New strategies implemented in 2018-19 increased our
average program giving from just $2134 to $6000.

The Pro Sponsorship Program, implemented in 2020, is helping to fill the gap

between Program Giving and program cost. Also, in 2021, General Giving
has increased, exceeding Trustee Giving for the first time in a decade.
As the charts on the previous pages demonstrate, in 2021, contributions
exceeded operational costs for the first time in several years. Meanwhile,
our social media outreach has reduced our cost per student reached by
9,895% over the average cost between 2018-2020.

which we define as a supporting donor base capable of funding 100% of our
operating and program costs, allowing for Board contributions to support
new growth that will enable us to reach youth across our entire nation.
