What Civil Rights Corps does
Mission
We work to shift power to community-led movements, particularly those led by black and brown people who are most affected by this legal system, so they can build sufficient power to create structural change. Continued on schedule o.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Crc has challenged pretrial detention, cash bail, fines and fees, debtors prisons, mass supervision and surveillance, corporate profiteering, brutality, family separation, and other aspects of the punishment bureaucracy that oppress poor people and disproportionately harm marginalized communities. The goals of this work have centered on reducing the size and power of carceral bureaucracies reducing the ability of corporations and governments to profit off of caging people preventing family separation increasing fairness, equality, and justice in the system and reimagining health and safety. The criminal legal systems most fundamental claim is that it brings accountability when someone has broken the law. Anyone with significant experience in the system quickly realizes this form of accountability is almost exclusively sought against poor people, especially poor people of color. Continued in sch o

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 2018 to 2019, from $5.5M to $11M (+93%).
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: 2021 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $3.0M → $5.5M.
18 of 60 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% 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 CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 60 funders by total. 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
CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
75% 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 CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 59% · 2018 28% · 2019 34% · 2020 22% · 2021 20% · 2022 19% · 2023 20% — 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
44% of CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
62% of CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS'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 $15M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 16 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
