DID YOU KNOW?

YES spends a significant portion of our programming budget on costs for our college Scholars including tuition gaps, housing, travel expenses, textbooks, school supplies, and health insurance. YES makes all payments directly to colleges, bookstores, and airlines to ensure that we can account for every dollar spent.

YES' most recent 16-month audit (FYE 12/31/23) reflects the following breakdown:

Total expenses: $2,944,839

74% to Programs
16% to General Operations
10% to Fundraising

It costs YES around $50,000 to fund one student from 6th grade through college graduation and beyond. Additionally, each year, YES leverages over $350,000 in scholarships and financial aid for each Scholar at independent schools and in college.
