Overview

Mission

To combat community deterioration, defend human and civil rights secured by law, and promote the common good and general welfare of the people by educating the public and advocating on the benefits conferred on the citizens of California through increasing funding for homelessness and mental health support services by raising state tax revenues.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization engaged in post-election tasks following an unsuccessful ballot measure effort, in which the organization worked to combat community deterioration, defend human and civil rights secured by law, and promote the common good and general welfare of the people by educating the public and advocating on the benefits conferred on the citizens of California through preparation, qualification, and advocacy of a statewide measure to increase funding for homelessness and mental health support services by raising state tax revenues.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
