What California Partnership Safe Communities does
Mission
stakeholders concerned with violence to build working alliances that span the often deep divisions among criminal justice agencies, the community, and young people at highest risk of gun violence. By prioritizing respect and dignity for all community members, trust building, direct communication, partnership, and the use of data to focus efforts on those at highest risk of violence, CPSC works to create stronger and more resourceful communities better able to ensure public safety while affording young people at highest risk of violence a more promising future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
CPSC works with cities to achieve sustainable community-wide reductions in violence. In each city where we work, CPSC engages a broad cross-section of community stakeholders concerned with violenceincluding criminal justice agencies, faith leaders, community organizers, youth and their advocates, street outreach efforts, service providers, victims of violence, residents of neighborhoods affected by violence and the formerly incarceratedto build working alliances that span the often deep divisions among criminal justice agencies, the community, and young people at highest risk of gun violence.Making communities safe without increasing incarceration: Central to CPSCs approach is the direct and respectful communication of a powerful anti-violence message to young people at highest risk of violence by these alliances of community leaders.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $1.2M to $0 (−100%).
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: 2019 62% · 2020 72% · 2021 78% · 2022 62% · 2023 59% · 2024 25% · 2025 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $375k → $100k.
3 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 California Partnership Safe Communities’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
California Partnership Safe Communities leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
71% 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 California Partnership Safe Communities.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 100% · 2019 77% · 2020 53% · 2021 88% · 2022 69% · 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.
How long its funders stay
0% of California Partnership Safe Communities's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
63% of California Partnership Safe Communities's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $530k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
