What Central City Association of Los Angeles does
Mission
Devoted to promoting the economic health and quality of life in la, particularly downtown los angeles. Cca provides business advocacy in sharing public policy on a broad range of issues before the citycouncil, the county board of supervisors, and state legislature.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Central city association (cca) works to ensure that the interest of businesses are represented in the development of key local government policies by: (1) inviting key public decision makers to speak at monthly committee meetings and luncheons; (2) testifying at publichearings; and (3) meeting individually with local public policy officials.
Cca promotes downtown los angeles through its annual meetings and other events which spotlight the businesses, retail, cultural facilities and public places downtown. Cca's annual meeting, monthly committee meetings, luncheons, and other events facilitate networking for our members by providing them with the opportunity to meet with other business professionals.
Cca forms a special committee or task force to bore down into especially complicated issues, such as the future of downtown development, housing production and affordable housing, and homelessness. Cca creates publications and posts them on the website for the public to read.

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 2017 to 2018, from $4.2M to $3.5M (−16%).
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. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2017 → 2020: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $6k → $187k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $99k from 4 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CENTRAL CITY ASSOCIATION OF LOS ANGELES raised.
From the IRS filings of CENTRAL CITY ASSOCIATION OF LOS ANGELES’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
CENTRAL CITY ASSOCIATION OF LOS ANGELES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 94% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 CENTRAL CITY ASSOCIATION OF LOS ANGELES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 97% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k 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. 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.
