What Climate Advocates Voces Unidas does
Mission
Climate Advocates Voces Unidas (cavu) inspires local solutions to the climate crisis via visual storytelling and youth education programs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Cavu aims to create a common vision of the american west, in which economic opportunities are achieved in balance with what makes this region vibrant: its people, lands, water and wildlife. Since 2005, we have conducted numerous projects in nine countries with more than 100 partners. Cavu has developed campaigns that have resulted in tangible solutions that address climate change and a host of related environmental and social issues. We have created a 10-part video series which has been seen by over two million viewers and a seven-part webinar series seen by over 500,000 viewers. Recently, cavu created the climate innovation challenge (cic). Cic is a free steam program built on cavu's science and storytelling curriculum. The program cultivates student leaders to think innovatively and communicate effectively about adapting to our changing climate. Cic was born out of the understanding that the climate crisis is the defining challenge for today's youth, impacting their environment, health, culture, and future job prospects. We work across the americas and africa to engage youth, with a focus on those most vulnerable to climate change impacts: students from indigenous communities,…

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 2023 to 2024, from $238k to $97k (−59%).
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 10% · 2021 15% · 2025 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of CLIMATE ADVOCATES VOCES UNIDAS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 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 held at 3 funders, grant income fell $123k → $110k.
5 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 CLIMATE ADVOCATES VOCES UNIDAS’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
CLIMATE ADVOCATES VOCES UNIDAS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
46% 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 CLIMATE ADVOCATES VOCES UNIDAS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 84% · 2019 64% · 2020 76% · 2021 64% · 2022 41% · 2023 50% — 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
30% of CLIMATE ADVOCATES VOCES UNIDAS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
CLIMATE ADVOCATES VOCES UNIDAS draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $563k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
