What California Tribal Families Coalition does
Mission
To protect the health, safety, and welfare of tribal children and families, which are inherent tribal government functions and are at the core of tribal sovereignty and tribal governance.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
California Tribal Families Coalition (ctfc) assists california tribes to increase social services capacity through the development of tribal codes, policies, strategic plans and workforce development. This year we continued this program assisting several tribes in building additional capacity that will increase the number of services for families to prevent child entry into foster care, to support relatives in being placement for those children that do need to enter foster care, and to support staff in best practices as advocates for families. This year, ctfc increased the training and technical assistance opportunities for tribal staff by developing a new tribal advocate training program as well as continuing to build peer-to-peer forums for support and learning. Additionally, ctfc supported tribes in developing electronic systems that can improve data collection and guide better practice in support of tribal social services programs.
$597,411 spent$447,900 earned by the program40% of program spendingCtfc continued its work to increase compliance with the indian child welfare act (icwa) through state and federal agency meetings and by providing direct legal representation to tribes in state dependency cases. Ctfc participated in state and federal agency meetings throughout the year to discuss and advocate for compliance with the federal law and its codification in california law. Ctfc participated in at least one federal advisory committee and seven state workgroups regarding child welfare practice and consulted on behalf of member tribes at least six times throughout the year. Ctfc also provided subject matter expertise in the review and comment on state and federal guidance on child welfare practice. Ctfc also continued the legal counsel for tribes (lc4t) project this year, which aims to provide an attorney to every tribe in california in every child welfare case involving their tribal member children. Lc4t provides legal representation to tribes in two regions, covering four california counties.
$836,375 spent$615,774 earned by the program56% of program spendingCtfc works to improve the practice of all attorneys and agency social workers in california involved in child dependency cases governed by the indian child welfare act. This year, ctfc continued implementation of the developed practice model for tribal attorneys through ongoing training programs including focused fellowships for newly graduated law students. Ctfc continued a training initiative aimed at increasing access to culturally based services and support for tribal youth involved in the youth justice system. Through this initiative, ctfc assists juvenile probation departments and tribes to increase access to services for tribal families by providing training, hosting community building events, and creating culturally appropriate resources. Finally, ctfc continued providing training to county social workers and foster parents throughout the year to increase understanding and skills in implementing the indian child welfare act in daily practice.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $790k to $2.5M (+210%).
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: 2020 5% · 2021 0% · 2024 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
