As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The CECHCR ProjectCCS formed this initiative, in partnership with all major management and labor associations and unions in California, representing all 1,166 school/community college district and county offices of education and the 1.1 million employees who serve the 6.2 million students in the public schools of California. The purpose of the CECHCR Project is to address the health care crisis by helping to reduce health insurance costs and provide quality, affordable health care for public school employees and their families.CECHCR accomplished its mission through a major education program, now updated and expanded into a combination web-based training program that includes training videos, resource print materials and live coaching sessions. The development of this online training program was made possible by a grant from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). It was then sustained by licensing the program to school districts and their unions. CECHCRs other program provides in-depth services and support for single districts and their unions on lowering health care costs and improving quality of care.

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 2023 to 2024, from $63k 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: 2021 18% · 2022 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $165 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
