Financial Summary | Fiscal Year

Improve Your Tomorrow is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN: 46-2981774) headquartered in Sacramento, California. The following financial summary is derived from the organization’s IRS Form 990 for the tax year beginning July 1, 2023 and ending June 30, 2024. All figures have been prepared on an accrual basis and audited by Richardson & Company LLP.

What is Fundraising Efficiency?

Fundraising efficiency measures what share of an organization’s total spending goes toward raising money — including events, grant writing, and donor outreach — rather than delivering programs. The lower the number, the better. Charity watchdogs typically flag organizations that spend more than 15–20% on fundraising. At 3.7%, IYT is well below that threshold, meaning the vast majority of every dollar raised goes directly to serving young men of color.

Why would a nonprofit have a surplus?

A modest operating surplus is essential for organizational health. IYT’s net assets of $4.3 million represent approximately 3.7 months of operating expenses — below the six-month reserve recommended for nonprofits of this size. This surplus supports IYT’s continued expansion into new regions, ensures the organization can meet payroll obligations while awaiting government reimbursements, and builds the financial foundation needed to sustain long-term impact.
