Overview

Mission

Ymo exists to support the ymo program of hillsides.

What it reported doing in 2024

Youth moving on provides transition-aged youth ages 16 to 25, a continuum of support services and affordable quality housing to help them transition successfully to adulthood. Many youths, who are preparing for life after foster care, need assistance and training in key life skills to live on their own, to reduce the risk of homelessness, and to overcome other obstacles.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 72% for direct work, and 28% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
