What Central Coast Ocean Adventures Inc does
Program
The organization uses its starship mystic cruzar vessel to conduct multiple training, educational and donor awareness sessions on the water. People participated in four different types of events ranging from 2 hour sails for donors and potential donors to 8 hour education sessions for students. During the educational session the students apply learning of nautical skills and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (stem) academic principles. Additionally, the students practice effective communication, efficient organization, courage, and self-discipline.
$1,154,678 spent
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-PF.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $2.2M to $1.2M (−45%).
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
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

Where its funders are
CENTRAL COAST OCEAN ADVENTURES INC draws 96% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 3 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $51k 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.
