Overview

Mission

Young Catholic Professionals is a 501c3 nonprofit on a mission to challenge, train and inspire young adults working in various professions to Work in Witness for Christ. In a world that can be void of meaning and leave them restless and dissatisfied, YCP brings together young professionals in their 20s and 30s into a community of belonging, support, and encouragement at all stages of the faith journey. YCP empowers and equips them to live their Catholic faith through everyday work, and to perform all work with excellence for the glory of God.

What it reported doing in 2024

Chapter Support - Young Catholic Professionals continues to encourage young adults working in various professions to Work in witness for Christ. Chapters meet together on a monthly basis and host events including executive speaker series, where we invite experienced Catholic professionals to provide counsel and encouragement to our members. We expanded YCP over the past year to multiple new cities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
