Overview
Mission
To empower foster youth into successful adulthood.
What it reported doing in 2024
Aging UP stands out with its unique focus on one-to-one mentoring for youth ages 13 to 21 who have experienced foster care. Former foster youth are among Californias most vulnerable populations. Our research-based services are designed to mitigate the challenges they face, such as homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, and mental health issues. Research consistently shows that stable mentor relationships can counter trauma effects and build resilience in young people. Therefore, we recruit, screen, and train adult volunteers before matching them with a youth, ensuring each mentor completes 20 hours of trauma-informed, strength-based training and commits to ongoing training.The founders diligently worked full time, with nearly half of their hours unpaid and donated as in-kind, totaling 1,500 volunteer staff hours. The commitment of our volunteers is equally commendable, with mentoring hours totaling more than 1,400 hours, committee members served nearly 45 hours, professional bookkeeping services totaling more than 55 hours, and an additional 40 hours of administrative and program support services rendered as a donation. More than 20 hours of film production and well over 60 hours of website maintenance and graphic design services were provided in-kind. Twelve individuals totaled 80 hours of day-of-event support. Nearly $5,000 of tangible goods was donated to benefit the youth we serve.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
