Overview
Mission
Who are foundational Oaklander's? There is a heartbeat that gives rhythm to those of us w ho have spent our lives here in Oakland. The rich tapestry and groundwork from the Black Panther Party to the songs of Sly Stone. Foundational Oaklanders are simply put "Everyday People". We have lived through many cycles of change but have always welcomed everyone to our beautiful city. We value each other and treat each other as family, without needing to divide along political labels.
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.
