The purpose of the corporation is to train activists to work on social change issues. Graduates of the program are ready to work for organizations or campaigns that will create a more equal and democratic america; a greener america that doesn't let ideology blind us to science; and one that respects our freedoms but understands that we're all in this together. The functions of the organization shall include training activist and working on social change campaigns with various partner organizations.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
Change Corps, inc.'s signature program trains aspiring progressive leaders in the skills and strategies needed to advocate for change through a combination of learning in a classroom setting, providing field support for social welfare campaigns and assisting participants in the search for full-time organizing positions upon their completion of the program.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
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. 2 of the last 2 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 CHANGE CORPS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 87% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% — growing more concentrated.
