What Center for Community Advocacy does
Mission
Provide Educational Programs, Health Services and Legal Services to Farm Workers at housing sites and throughout the Salinas Valley and promote improved living conditions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Throughout CCA's tenure, organized committees have been able to advocate for their rights to safe healthy living environments and with CCA's help have been able to rehabilitate hundreds of substandard housing units throughout the region. In time, CCA has incorporated two additional programs to its services that focus on Health and Youth. In the early 2000's, with the encouragement of The California Endowment (the state's largest health foundation), CCA added its Promotores Comunitarios health advocacy program. This program focuses on providing and teaching preventative health strategies to individuals and families who have low health literacy and are uninformed/underserved, and develops community health advocates, Promotores de Salud, to serve as health care access points and liaisons within their families and communities. CCA's most recent program addition has been its youth program, Youth4Change. This program was launched in 2017 and focuses on youth leadership development, civic engagement and higher education attainment.

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 2020 to 2021, from $2.5M to $3.6M (+47%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

How long its funders stay
56% of CENTER FOR COMMUNITY ADVOCACY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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.

100% of CENTER FOR COMMUNITY ADVOCACY's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $199k 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.
