What Beverly-Vermont Community Land Trust does
Mission
Beverly-Vermont Community Land Trust (bvclt)'s mission is to build community power to keep working class communities of color in their homes and neighborhoods through permanent affordability and democratic community ownership in koreatown and the surrounding transit-oriented neighborhoods in los angeles.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024, Beverly-Vermont Community Land Trust completed the rehabilitation for 108 s kenmore property and for 6629 lemp property, completing work on two buildings. Bvclt also hired three new staff members (director of finance and operations, director of cultural arts and basebuilding, and director of resident and land stewardship) to have a total of four staff members at the end of the year.

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 $1.6M to $5.1M (+229%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 77%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
54% of BEVERLY-VERMONT COMMUNITY LAND TRUST’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (38% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $275k → $304k.
7 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

BEVERLY-VERMONT COMMUNITY LAND TRUST has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% 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
100% 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 BEVERLY-VERMONT COMMUNITY LAND TRUST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 91% · 2022 83% · 2023 66% — diversifying over time.
“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
73% of BEVERLY-VERMONT COMMUNITY LAND TRUST's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $405k that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
