What California Coalition of Early & Middle Colleges does
Mission
Establish and document best practices, develop and sustain supportive environments that strengthen k-12 and college partnerships in which students graduate college and career ready by accumulating substantial college units concurrently with high school graduation credits. In collaboration with our partner colleges, the california department of education and the california community college's chancellor's office, California Coalition of Early & Middle Colleges (ccemc) will collect information that substantiates the dual enrollment and early and middle college initiatives, publicizes schools' work and successes, and keeps the educational community informed of laws, california education code, and statutes that impact the dual enrollment and early and middle college initiatives. The corporation will carry on other educational activities associated with these goals as allowed by law.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Provided both a ccemc statewide conference and a regional workshop for the professional development in the area of dual enrollment. Funds were used for organizational development, coaching program development and to continue providing professional development regarding dual enrollment.

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 2023 to 2024, from $327k to $931k (+185%).
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 11% · 2025 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
