Overview

Mission

Ypn's principal purpose is to provide a network of support through education and resources to develop healthy and successful families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ypn is often the first point of contact for families in need of support and information. Services are available for parents of children aged 0-5 and for moms and dads aged 13-27. These services focus on having a healthy pregnancy, raising a healthy baby, and focus on early childhood growth and development. Programs focus on a variety of areas that meet our communities' most critical needs and offer family support. Areas of service include nurturing children and youth and supporting healthy families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filed totals do not add up.
