Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To ignite the potential of youth today for vibrant communities tomorrow. We offer positive experiences, environments and relationships and a foundation for youth to grow, learn and develop into happy, self-sufficient young adults.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Bright Futures for Youth is a nonprofit committed to making a life-changing difference for children and young adults in Nevada County, a rural community near Sacramento. Our services include a youth center, after-school programs & for those faced with housing instability.

  • Bright Futures for Youth has three core programs: The Friendship Club, a long-term program that provides year-round academic, social and emotional support for girls in sixth grade through high school. NEO (New Events & Opportunities), a fun, safe and supervised place after school and during the summer for all genders ages 11-25 with a Drop-in Youth Center. SAFE (Stability, Access, Foundation, Empowerment) helps 12- to 25-year-old youth experiencing homelessness, providing basic needs, access to housing and community services and an onsite Drop-in Center.

    Expenses $1,169,616

  • Other BFFY Programs serve youth organization-wide. This includes our Kitchen and Nutrition program that provides free meals to youth in all programs and nutrition and cooking classes, and other smaller food-related programs/services throughout the year. Our Cinderella Project, which provides free formal wear for youth for school dances and special occasions. Our comprehensive programs include after-school meetings, summer camps and dozens of enrichment workshops, mentors, tutors, mental health and health care referrals and paths to college and career/trade school. An integral part of our program is the interaction between young people and adult role models. BFFY programs are provided at no cost to youth and their families.

    Expenses $624,885

  • Friday Night Live/Club Live (FNL/CL) is an alcohol, drug and tobacco prevention program funded by Nevada County that uses positive youth development activities and lessons serving students at their school sites in grades 4-8, with efforts underway to involve 9-12th graders. We run seven chapters at six schools where youth remain in their cohorts as they advance through school. At these meetings, we also educate youth about BFFY after-school programs and encourage participation to make friends, have fun, explore their passions, get life-skills training and learn to make healthy choices.

    Expenses $68,698

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
