What Act 4 SA Action Fund does
Mission
ACT 4 SA Action Fund is dedicated to reimagining public safety and shrinking the carceral system both policing and prisons. Through grassroots lobbying, we move community members and decision makers alike to take direct action in creating a more accountable, compassionate, and transparent public safety system that truly values justice and equity for all in San Antonio and across Bexar County.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Advocacy Days At Texas Capitol - In 2025, ACT 4 SA Action Fund brought volunteers together to support important work at the Capitol in Austin, Texas. Our advocacy in Austin kicked off by supporting VOCAL TX on February 12 and 13. Together with organizations from across the state, we rallied to fight back against billionaires and build safe and thriving communities. We also met with lawmakers, sharing the importance of public health interventions like housing solutions and proven overdose prevention programs. The next month, we attended the All In For Equality Advocacy Day in Austin. We were joined by organizations and state residents from far and wide, all standing up proudly for the rights of queer Texans. ACT 4 SA Action Fund, alongside several community partners, kept tabs on many dangerous bills affecting things like the carceral system, cop transparency, and immigration. Thorouogh some advocacy days with coalition partners we were able to successfully beat several bad bills.

Together we set goals, bonded as a team, made some art, and sang our hearts out at karaoke. Our second retreat was held in June 2025. During this retreat, we realigned and re-strategized with a focus on the remainder of the year. A big thank you to BRIDGE Collective for facilitating our second day of training.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $21k to $99k (+373%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of Act 4 SA Action Fund’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
