Hosts funds for others

ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAN LUIS OBISPO CO administers funds on behalf of other donors. The grants recorded as coming in are contributions into those funds, so they count custody rather than support for a programASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF SAN LUIS OBISPO CO runs itself. This page therefore states the flows and does not draw the comparisons it would draw for an operating charity: concentration, funder retention, grant dependency and the peer field are all left out, because each of them would read a vehicle as if it were a program.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $97k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
