What Community Call does
Mission
Community Call provides civic engagement learning and opportunity to marginalized youth in Boston and Cambridge
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Community Call has been recognized by the Boston City Council, the Boston Youth Services Network, Harvard University, Boston Latin School, and the City of Boston for outstanding youth and social justice programming. We connect youth through collaboration with community partners, government officials and agencies, and higher education, to address societal issues chosen by the students. Sample student projects include: youth homelessness, youth suicide, gang violence, bullying, gentrification, self-esteem, systemic racism, and racial justice. Our students define their own agenda from objectives to action. We have partnered with numerous Boston public high schools and community-based organizations for teaching, including the Harvard Ed Portal. Student programming was put on hold due to CoVid for 2020
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
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.
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.
100% of COMMUNITY CALL’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $6k → $23.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 COMMUNITY CALL’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
COMMUNITY CALL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 99%; 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 83% · 2018 95% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
COMMUNITY CALL draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $135 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
Against its field
COMMUNITY CALL's revenue fell 53% between 2017 and 2020.
