As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program

Lift up, encourage, and celebrate sprituial and cutural resistance to opperssion, particularly in new orleans, both historically and in the present monet. Moving toward completing the transition of the center's program model from its original model of serving as a volunteer center for people who came to new orleans to help into a center for transfomational learning in the deep south and beyond. Continue bevoming an anti-racist, anti-oppressive institution in accountable and mutally sustaining relationships with the communities that are.

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 2018 to 2019, from $54 to $-2626 (−4963%).
How it's funded, over time

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

98% 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 CENTER FOR ETHICAL LIVING AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.
