What it reported doing in 2024

Community outreach workshops and educational activities throughout los angeles, informing local residents about environmental issues, and providing access to open natural spaces. The charity is currently refurbishing juntos park in the city of los angeles. In this endevor, the organization is focused on community listening and engagement and school presentations in order to design a renovated park design with many upgrades. Also working on a project vamos a la playa(let's go to the beach), where children are taken on field trips to the beach and other parts of the coast. This project is 5 years old. This program was launched to address historically underrepresented communities' barriers to accessing open spaces. This project is designed to teach community members about public access to the beautiful southern California coastline and provide an opportunity to learn about marine life and environmental responsibility. Last year we held 3 vamos a la playa family events. We took over 140 community member to malibu beaches for a fun, family day.these trips bring inner-city families and chidren from northeast la to spend the day at beaches they have never been to. Each trip consisted of participants transported via charter bus and included lunch and portable restrooms.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 68% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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.
