What Compassion Planet does
Mission
Compassion Planet exists to help aged-out foster youth and at-risk young people overcome personal obstacles and reach their fullest potential. We accomplish this by providing sustainable resources such as food, housing, life-skills, job and outcome-based initatives. Our program pairs youth with dozens of adult mentors who share in the common goal of equipping, encouraging, and empowering underserved young people in the greater sacramento area. Additionally, we help fund our mission and provide training opportunities through creating social enterprises.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The exempt organization successfully operates deer creek farm where participants in our mentoring program are employed in raising produce for food and sale. Additionally, a retail store is operated and provides a venue for training and employment of disadvantaged at-risk young adults. All available proceeds from the farm and the retail store are used to provide funds for the stated mission of the organization.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.0M to $1.8M (+68%).
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 8% · 2023 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of COMPASSION PLANET’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $12k → $226k.
7 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 COMPASSION PLANET’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
COMPASSION PLANET leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 72% · 2019 41% · 2020 44% · 2021 76% · 2022 55% · 2023 51% — 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
50% of COMPASSION PLANET'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
92% of COMPASSION PLANET's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $164k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
