Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, affirming place for LGBTQ young people to express and explore who they are through education, peer-support, and friendship.

What it reported doing in 2025

BIPOC Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Youth Meeting - Fiesta Youth wanted to provide a safe and affirming space for these youth to share their experiences and provide social and emotional skills development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Multi-channel. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 38% for direct work, 40% for grants, and 22% for member benefits.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
