Programs
ENERGY and DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT: Disaster Risk Management: We reactivated collaboration with California authorities, including an important mission of CAL FIRE and the former director of CalOES to Chile. We organized the international seminar Wildfires and Emergency Management, bringing together experts, authorities such as the U.S. Ambassador to Chile and the Ambassador of Chile to the U.S., and key actors to share best practices. We made significant progress in renewing the Memorandum of Understanding between CONAF and CAL FIRE, and we facilitated crucial dialogues with the private sector. December 2024: WILDFIRES AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT For over a decade, the Chile California Council (CCC) has been a pillar in promoting collaboration between Chile and California, especially in wildfire and emergency management, areas where both regions face similar challenges. In 2024, efforts began to renew the Memoranda of Understanding between CONAF and CAL FIRE, adapting to the challenges of the current decade. This effort included a key visit by a CAL FIRE delegation to Chile, culminating in the international seminar Wildfires and Emergency Management: Shared Challenges between Chile…

Notable examples include workshops focusing on fog, kelp forest conservation, and bird protection, alongside enabling collaborative engagement at the Biodiversity COP16. These initiatives have successfully fostered vital connections, such as the Chile-California Fog Ecosystem Monitoring Network, and established an innovative partnership between the UC Natural Reserve System and centers at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. CHILE CALIFORNIA CONSERVATION ENVIRONMENTAL EXCHANGE (CCCX) Under the Environment and Conservation focus area, the CCC supported CCCX activities throughout 2024, including four expert exchanges between California and Chile, fostering high-level meetings with representatives from academia and the public and private sectors. The main purpose of these exchanges was the transfer of specialized knowledge in technology, methodologies, and public policies related to conservation. The workshops generated valuable knowledge and strengthened binational scientific networks to address joint strategies against climate change. In…

This meeting helped reaffirm binational collaboration and coordinate efforts to achieve conservation goals by 2030, demonstrating that global challenges are better faced together. The long-term collaboration between the Chile-California Council and the CCCX has been crucial in 2024 for strengthening scientific networks and developing joint strategies against climate change. Through expert exchanges and high-level meetings, they have promoted environmental conservation and underscored the value of international alliances for a sustainable future
$11,059 spent9% of program spendingTECHNOLOGY, ENTRPRENEURSHIP and INNOVATION: Chile Conecta: California: We successfully launched this professional network for Chileans in California linked to Science, Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (STIE). The launch event and collaboration with initiatives like Latinas in STEM and Chile Seminars lay the groundwork for empowering Chilean talent abroad and fostering synergies. These achievements would not have been possible without the dedication of our team, the invaluable support of our board, and the collaboration of an extensive network of partners in the public, private, and academic sectors in both territories. We especially thank the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile for its continued trust and support. Looking to the future, our goal is to further deepen the impact of our initiatives and explore new opportunities to collaborate in public and private sector areas that are crucial for sustainable development. Global challenges, such as climate change and rapid technological evolution, require robust and innovative binational collaboration. We pledge to keep spearheading initiatives that address these challenges and deliver real advantages and clear prospects…

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 2019 to 2020, from $19k to $119k (+530%).
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 50% · 2021 58% · 2022 56% · 2023 70%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Chile-California Council’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 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 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $6k → $143k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% 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 Chile-California Council’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
Chile-California Council leans on a few funders — its largest provides 26% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 58% · 2021 44% · 2022 41% · 2023 42% — 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
40% of Chile-California Council's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
56% of Chile-California Council's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
