Overview

Mission

The mission of the davis phoenix coalition is to engage the community to eliminate intolerance for the purpose of preventing hate-motivated violence and cultivate a broader civic culture that embraces and promotes a diverse community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Project un cafecito provided leadership training to 10 loatinix mothers associated with the davis unified school district. Alumni of previous cohorts provided outreach to 50 marginalized and hard to reach community members on resources available for mental health, housing, workers and citizenship rights.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% 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

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.
