What Center for Immigrant Protection does
Mission
The LGBTAP is the only San Francisco nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to providing accessible legal representation for LGBT asylum seekers who are fleeing persecution due to their sexual orientation, gener identity and/or HIV status.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, the LGBT Asylum Project: Served 833 LGBTQ+ immigrants. This number includes intakes, consultations, and full-scope cases. Secured 11 approvals, bringing our total to 138 since inception. Took on 39 asylum cases (22 affirmative and 17 defensive). o Affirmative asylum cases are for LGBTQ+ immigrants who entered the country on a valid visa and whose cases are handled at the Asylum Office. o Defensive cases are for LGBTQ+ immigrants who entered the country through the southern border and have been placed in deportation proceedings. Their cases are handled at the Immigration Courts. Expanded our services to include full-scope representation for all LGBTQ+ defensive asylum cases (previously, we were at capacity to provide this level of representation). Continued offering 100% free legal and community services to our clients, including full-scope representation before the San Francisco Asylum Office and the San Francisco, Concord, and Sacramento Immigration Courts, covering Northern California. Maintained our 99% approval rate. Hosted four fellows through the OCEIA DreamSF program and a legal intern through Legal Services Funders Network (LSFN) Program. Hired one new staff…

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 2021 to 2022, from $253k to $578k (+129%).
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 8% · 2021 6% · 2022 43% · 2023 46% · 2024 63%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Center for Immigrant Protection’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (93% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Leadership and staff
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.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 14 funders, grant income rose $21k → $242k.
10 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 75% 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 Center for Immigrant Protection’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
Center for Immigrant Protection has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
91% 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 Immigrant Protection.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 36% · 2021 50% · 2022 38% · 2023 30% — diversifying over time.
“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
33% of Center for Immigrant Protection'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
75% of Center for Immigrant Protection's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $334k that is directly attributable, 69% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
