Overview

Mission

The Chase Youth Foundation funds the Chase Youth Commission, the officially recognized voice for Spokane County youth, empowering youth as leaders and providing a platform to influence public policy. The Commission advocates for youth, identifying gaps in youth services and connecting youth to resources. Initiatives include youth mental health, civic engagement and youth issues candidates forum.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 the CYC raised awareness about youth mental health, brought resources to teens and began a marketing campaign to reduce the stigma associated with seeking treatment. The students also focused on school safety and worked with local stakeholders and school districts to improve gaps in security and educate students on the importance of being aware of your surroundings, helping direct students in need to adults who can help, and reporting anything that could be perceived as dangerous.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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.
