What Color Compton Inc does
Mission
Building communities across cultures and generations through history and the arts
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Art and History Youth Programming. Programming that provides a creative after school learning environment to work alongside young people to explore BIPOC history, develop new skills, and build confidence in themsleves through the use of art. Participants delve into the histiographies of how Black and Brown narratives have been shaped and how they are recorded and remembered in the U.S. The youth are equipped with various mediums and storytelling tools to develop their own narratives about themselves, their family and community. In addition, youth are equipped with the tools to create and contribute to a community archive. Youth develop critical conversation around archives and the archiving process and develop an accessible catalogue for the larger community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $53k to $272k (+409%).
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: 2023 30% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Color Compton Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $10k → $157k.
3 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 Color Compton Inc’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
Color Compton Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
41% 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 Color Compton Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 80% — 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.
Where its funders are
80% of Color Compton Inc's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $58k 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.
