Programs
All other achievements
$137,275 spentof which $16,025 as grants100% of program spendingSacramento UNITY Program. Dedicated to promoting solidarity among Asian-Latino-Black-Native communities, the program also nurtures a new generation of empowered leaders committed to driving transformative change through public service. This initiative is hosted in partnership with Sacramento Mayor Pro Tem Mai Vang. The program equips students with the tools to cultivate confidence, discipline, and essential skills for navigating high school, preparing for graduation, and succeeding in college. Speakers serve as role models, inspiring students to pursue their own success and become community leaders. Success stories shared by these role models inspire students to tap into their own abilities.
Southern California Mobilize Youth Leadership Program. The Mobilize Youth Leadership Program provides students with resources, skill-building exercises, and support networks. We help prepare students to graduate high school and become change agents in their communities. Junior and Senior students from Los Angeles and Orange County High Schools will be invited to participate in a five-week summer youth leadership program.
Bay Area Mobilize Youth Leadership Program. In 2018, with the support and leadership from Aimee Eng, president of the Oakland Unified School District, we launched our Bay Area formerly East Bay program to empower Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander youth in the region. Junior and Senior students from Bay Area High Schools will be invited to participate in a five-week summer youth leadership program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2021 to 2022, from $336k to $484k (+44%).
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 APIs Mobilize’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $30k → $19.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of APIs Mobilize’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
APIs Mobilize leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 67% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
APIs Mobilize draws 50% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $19 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
APIs Mobilize's revenue fell 75% between 2017 and 2024.
