Overview

Mission

Providing family services, mentorship, and after-school programs for elementary, middle, and high school youth through partnerships with local schools to support at-risk youth.

What it reported doing in 2025

During 2025, Carters Community Youth Foundation carried out charitable programs that supported youth and families in the community. The organization hosted a Back-to-School Giveaway that provided students with school supplies and other essential resources to help prepare them for the academic year. The Foundation also organized sports benefit events to raise support for youth programs and promote health, teamwork, and community engagement. In addition, the organization provided outreach and assistance to homeless and at-risk youth by connecting them with essential resources, support services, and community partners. These activities furthered the Foundation's mission of empowering youth, strengthening families, and improving the well-being of underserved communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
