Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To smash the stigma surrounding mental illness and to build a community of people who realize that hope happens when youth and community leaders work together. We hope that someday mental illness will be as normal to talk about as any physical illness, and are fiercely dedicated to making this goal a reality.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To build communities designed to foster mental health awareness and to support youth movements around hope.

  • In 2025, our message of hope, community, and stigma reduction continued to reach more young people and adult allies, as reflected in the steady growth of our Youth Ambassador program and the increasing number of communities joining our youth-led movement. With the ongoing youth mental health crisis and rising suicide rates, we remain deeply committed to creating meaningful change in this space. Today, we have over 723 Youth Ambassadors actively bringing YTP programming and Hope Gardens to their schools, with new ambassadors set to join in 2026. In 2025, YTP received 250+ individual donations from those who care about youth mental health. We were awarded grants from 11 local foundations and also received generous gifts from 4 family foundations and 2 community-based events.Hope Gardens continued to expand, with new bulbs planted in communities across the country, reinforcing our mission to spark conversations about mental health at an early age. This year marked a particularly meaningful milestone with the launch of the Hope Archive - a powerful new initiative that preserves and amplifies real stories of resilience, creativity, and healing, ensuring that hope is not only shared in the moment, but uplifted for generations to come.Our commitment to arts and storytelling as powerful tools for mental health advocacy deepened this year. We concluded 2025 with over 1,175 individuals completing our Storytelling Alchemy course, and we further refined our focus on arts and media to better meet the needs of the youth we serve.Beyond programming, YTP was honored to participate in several global conferences, including the Year-long UArctic 'COIL' project, 'Changemaker Chats Across the Globe' series, 3 new international community collaborators, Global Mental Health Peer Network (South Africa) and the University of Edinburgh (Scotland). Our work was recognized with two distinguished awards: the ICON of Inspiration Award and the Caring About Lives in Maine (CAL-ME) Award. We were selected as a presenting organization at the KyleCares Conference at Gillette Stadium and also participated in Teens Take the Met!As we look ahead, we remain unwavering in our mission to empower youth, cultivate hope, and change the conversation around mental health-one community, one story, and one action at a time.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.
