Overview
Mission
Empowering Low Income Neighborhood Communities.
What it reported doing in 2025
CAF La Palomera - Casa De Todos. This project began in May 2024 and concluded in November 2025. It entailed 4 components, 1) strengthening of the cultural and artistic activities that take place in the Casa de Todos, increasing income and quality among the various cultural groups. This goal was met through open invitation scenography design, dance, and poetry workshops with distinguished instructors as well as modeled performances and concerts. 2) planting 200 trees along the southern edge of the barrio and creating a nursery in the Casa de Todos, was met successfully and led to the opportunity of a new grant (ReArc Institute) to plant 2,000 more trees. 3) strengthening the productive activities of neighbors in La Palomera by understanding their businesses and helping them acquire needed machinery, or equipment through a credit cooperative that they have created amongst themselves. This component was perhaps the most successful, creating a self-generated fund comprised of 21 businesses, that helps support its members with microcredits. Participants also receive financial education. Finally 4) we surveyed all the service infrastructure including access to potable water, sewage, electricity, gas and internet. It reveals clear opportunities for improvements to the various systems without requiring total removal and replacement, which is what professionals today consider the only option.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
