Overview
Mission
DSALs mission is to build connected, empowered communities in the unincorporated areas of Alameda County by supporting youth and families, promoting health, education, and public safety through collaboration between the community and the Sheriff's office. Through tailored programs and local partnerships, we strive to create pathways for lifelong growth and success.
What it reported doing in 2024
Dsal recreation programs offer no and low-cost soccer, boxing, fitness and other recreational activities for low-income community members and provides opportunities for sheriff's deputies to interact positively with members of the community. Dsal ccp communications and community development programs endeavor to provide support for community/deputy relationships, community groups, empower community members to engage in the political process, engage in creative placemaking, and make their community a more vibrant, healthy place to live, work and play.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 82% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
