These initiatives involve issue education, self-advocacy, and collaborative networking with partner organizations.In 2024, members of the Homecare Worker Committee continued to advocate for retirement benefits and holiday pay. They drafted a petition, gathered signatures from fellow home care workers and their employers, and met with a county representative to present their concerns. Plans are in place to amplify their petition through social media, mobilize community supporters, and continue building relationships with elected officials and labor unions.
$49,442 spent20% of program spendingEducational ProgramsAIWAs educational initiatives include workplace and digital literacy classes, thematic workshops for adults, and general meetings and workshops for youth.In Spring 2024, AIWA conducted workplace literacy classes in which participants practiced conversations about job types, workplace preferences, and public communication. Concurrently, during digital literacy sessions, youth members and community volunteers taught women how to use various smartphone apps and functions.Women leaders also engaged in experiential learning to deepen their understanding of race, gender, and class. They visited the Women of the Black Panther Party mural and the Black Panther Party Museum in West Oakland. Participant reflections included:I learned that Black people, led largely by women, fought for freedom and rights. The history of Black unity and resistance was eye-opening. I admire their spirit and determination, which inspires us to fight for our own rights.

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 2020 to 2021, from $996k to $1.6M (+60%).
How it's funded, over time

Asian Immigrant Women Advocates Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
43% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Asian Immigrant Women Advocates Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 46% · 2019 100% · 2020 32% · 2021 35% · 2022 52% · 2023 41% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $406k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states 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.
