Overview

Mission

YES(Young-onset dementia Education and Support) provides education and support to families affected by young-onset dementia (diagnosis before age 65)

What it reported doing in 2025

Care Partner Wellness Retreats: Recognizing that care partners cannot fulfill the daily demands of caring for someone with dementia without caring forthemselves, YES offers respite retreats to care for these care partners.

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model: Direct operator. The filing allocates 89% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
