Overview
Mission
Centro Latino de San Francisco provides essential services that enable our clients to live healthy and productive lives. We have grown into a full-service community center providing a wide range of life sustaining and enrichment services for over 2,000 low-income, multi-ethnic elderly, adults with disabilities, families and immigrants. From the very beginning of the acquisition of our new home, there were major financial challenges that we needed to overcome to keep the organization moving forward. It was only possible to succeed in meeting these challenges through the generous contributions made to the organization in its formative years by Ernest "Chuck" and Bernice Ayala, and Lloyd and LaVerne Paff. Years later, these families continued to demonstrate their unwavering support for the organization, and were.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 76% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
